“Interweaving ideas and materiality, I make drawings that explore ecological systems, seasonal cycles, and changing landscapes. My artwork is part of a larger practice of developing a relationship with a place by working with the abundance of its flora. Using botanical materials carefully foraged at specific sites, I create inks, watercolors, charcoal, and paper embedded with a connection to distinct locations and seasons. Experimental studies and sketches document an investigation of each material’s characteristics, while intricate renderings of dense vegetation and botanical vignettes reflect and respond to the places of their origin. Together, these drawings speak to the work of tending to and rebuilding a relationship with the more-than-human word while grappling with and grieving our uncertain future”
