I arrived at my conceptual perspective through a certain cynicism that ecology and history teach. A background in horticulture has taught me to respect the fragility and beautiful cruelty of nature’s evolutionary web. As a student of history I understand the inevitable repetition of conquering and destruction man has sustained for millennia.

My message is a contrast between primordial forms and colors, and the preternatural chaos of man’s dominance. Nature is the ultimate sculptor. Using natural materials in unexpected ways, I strive to invite the viewer to take a closer look at their place in the world.
