The land, the earth we inhabit, has long been a favorite motif for artists.  The genre of landscape paintings references our humble nomadic roots and our memories of physical experiences.  Landscape painitngs are connection to actual or imagined places, they are recollections and reconfigurations of time, memory and dreams.

The building blocks of the natural world are endlessly interesting. No ocean or forest is bereft of ideas. Inspired by the macro- and microstructures of living organisms and the motion of a water-bound world, current work explores forms that blur the lines between animal and plant, realism and fantasy, sculpture and specimen. While materials are simple (cotton embroidery floss and wire), construction is complex, entailing thousands of pieces and countless hours of whipping and knotting. Each piece aims to reimagine the gracefulness, mystery, and complexity of a water-bound organism in motion.

My work does not preach. Nature is the text and a full-fledged collaborator.
