Artist Statement

​

My work demonstrates a fascination with the collision of the natural and built environments, and it brings attention to Western civilization’s attempts to dominate and manipulate nature. By incorporating photo-collage with decorative papers and colored pencil onto rag paper or panel, I construct landscapes that refer to marking the wild landscape with infrastructure such as mines, oil wells, cell phone towers disguised as trees, and buildings for habitation. The work is a commentary on humanity’s direct impact on the environment, as well as Earth’s interminable shapeshifting over the long history of its existence.
