Within a vast ecology of shapes and beings, my practice investigates the entanglements and interconnectedness of life. A web of physical and emotional complexities form a sensual and vulnerable existence. How are we shaped and what does that space feel like? The ways we connect are rich with imagination and unknown futures; these perspectives compose our realities — can we shift them? What if we step into a sphere that allows us to transform our configuration, to bend with the wind, to extend our roots beyond ourselves – beyond our own kin? 

Through drawing, papermaking, printmaking, and narrative practices, I investigate the tender places where perspectives can be shifted and our curiosities heightened. Fostering my kinship with the natural world, I transform plant materials and soils into inks and paper: a sensual, slow, and messy process. These techniques are collaborative with place, time, and chance. Delicate shapes and muted colors create a sense of lightness– not a lightness that pushes a false utopia, but rather a lightness that responds to the weight of living with care; an imaginative space that holds an abundance of complexities: uncertain shadows, tender expressions, fearsome beings, and hopeful growth.
