Through my art practice, I’m encouraging a rekindling of our innate connection with nature while also provoking conversation about rampant consumption and waste, and larger unsustainable human practices as we hurtle towards an environmental tipping point. Bouncing between the glimmers of societal change and the stubborn realities of human behavior, my work explores the pressing issue of abuse of natural resources to fuel the disposable nature of objects in most human cultures. Utilizing and re-using items that would otherwise be discarded, I assemble sculptural pieces that seek to lessen my own impact while discussing the complicated human relationship with the natural world that has led to our collective disconnect from it.
