I tend, gather and refine materials, especially pigments and fiber, from my immediate environment for use in my work. These processes create an ongoing point of contact from which to explore belonging and alienation within human systems and the ‘more than human’ world. Building cross-species relationships and using craft to ground me in my ecology are key components of my practice. 

Feeling the limitation that exists within and around me, I experiment with non-linear, non-dualistic imagining to move closer to what appears inanimate and impossible; to the grief inherent in extractive economies. I practice experiencing the aliveness of the world. 

My work is also a physical manifestation of the relationships I am building through careful observation, listening, collaboration (human and non-human) and the labor of craft. This shows up as painting, papercut, book forms, small sculpture and multi-species collaboration in the urban margins.
