I draw parallels between contingent making processes of artworks and methods in society of human and natural adaptation, i.e., how humans build temporary structures, shelters, and rafts which are used both for adventure and for survival.
I layer and collage together to investigate spatial environments. I splice together moving image and create collages that are layers upon layers of print, and sculptures from unusual combinations of materials. I intuitively make using materials that have been discarded such as packaging.
I am interested in the way that nature creeps back into every part of urban space and how natural phenomena such as water and light affect our experience of the world around us. I consider the duality that exists between water as a beautiful material that is difficult to control and water as something that is increasingly threatening.
My current research juxtaposes distinct landscapes facing uncertainty due to climate change and extreme scenarios of too much or too little water. Field research has taken place in Latin America, including the rainforest in Panama and the Atacama Desert in Chile. The production of artworks become a means of visualizing hopeful future possibilities for understanding landscapes in relation to climate resilience.
