“My work lives at the intersection of the natural world and domestic space. I use the signifiers of domesticity and domestic craft such as wallpaper patterns and sewing quilts in ways that question our relationship with nature in the Anthropocene era.

In the series Wallpapers for a Warming World, I employ photographic imagery and invented stylized floral wallpaper patterns which mediate the experience of nature through a human-made filter, and screenprint with natural dyes and pigments directly sourced from plants. In ecology, Shifting Baseline Theory posits that in the context of species extinction we forget what we have lost so that the present is the new baseline. In the quilt series, Mapping Stories, I gather plant materials from a given place at a given time and use these as materials to imprint upon the fabric, then stitch the elements together and add a human, mapping, or archeological element, or some reference to deep time, in which the past and present is imbedded in the work as a means to counter this forgetfulness.”
