ARTIST STATEMENT:
"Traces of the impact of humans on the planet occur in remnants and ruins, layered over with generations of existence - some a celebration and some a reckoning for the environment. Nature is inherently wild and entropic, and yet we repeatedly attempt to force it into submission.
These works are inspired by the relationship between industry and nature, and the juxtaposition between nature and the built environment. My works have a focus on impermanence, memory, life cycles and the passage of time, with the use of natural and architectural forms, layered and abstracted, to interpret those concepts - covering, uncovering, containing, fracturing, reconstructing, sometimes obliterating. A palimpsest is created where traces of what is under the surface remain visible. What is concealed feels sacred.”
