Artist Statement
I am interested in how elements of landscape relate to each other, and investigating how forces and matter shape each other is my starting point for exploring identity, transformation, patterns and disruption. Time is a critical dimension in my work; I do not attempt to protect my work from time’s influence, rather I try to incorporate it into my work.
