Artist Statement 

Earth’s environment is ultimately shaped and materially affected by consumption. My work seeks to address the normalcy of over-consumption and the perception of belongings—highlighting the relationship between nature and consumer practices.

For as many of my artworks as I can, I use recycled and reclaimed supplies. I make works that take into account the environmental impact of the materials themselves and I explore these ideas through my own convictions, habits, possessions, and emotional response to nature.

Through the re-appropriation of discarded materials into art objects that then reference and incorporate the natural world, I explore our relationship to nature, waste, consumption, materiality, and our emotional connection to objects and the landscape.
