Through papermaking, printmaking, bookmaking, and drawing, I create material narratives that function as forms of ecological storytelling. Rooted in lived encounters of noticing and sensing, my practice investigates matters of interconnectivity and ecological entanglements. The work becomes a record of attention, shaped through the gathering and transformation of plants, soils, and pigments. The processing of fibers is painstakingly slow, messy, and unpredictable. Some of these plant materials will fade and distort over time. I lean into these transformations, understanding materials as active, vulnerable participants carrying traces of environment and memory.

Attention and curiosity are central to my practice. I approach feeling and embodied perception as matters of intelligence and inquiry, informing how I translate encounters with place into visual form. Walking, listening, touching, and collecting become part of the work. From these sensory and material conversations, ambiguous stories emerge: figures progress through tangled and delicate environments; muted colors and plants are abstracted into atmosphere. The tender expressions and physical vulnerabilities add to the tension of paradoxes, while embedded text supports narrative inquiry. These imaginative worlds hold an abundance of complexities, considering how we come to relate to both our inner and outer landscapes, and what it means to turn toward one another, to notice interdependence, and to remain in conversation.
