STATEMENT OF WORK

My work is an exploration of patterns and forms found in nature. Influences include objects in nature that reveal a sense of order, elegance, and geometry. I utilize natural forms such as patterns of moving water and flow-like organic structures to depict, uncover, or reference our human connection to nature. The movement or flow of water has repeatedly been the focus of my art practice: currents, eddies, reflections, depth, and transparency have each served as points of visual and conceptual inquiry. My work fluctuates from visual presentations of the beauty and order in nature to projects that explore chaos, decay, or endangerment to the natural world. I work across multiple disciplines shifting between painting and printmaking to sculpture, installation, and public projects. Drawing is an essential aspect of my work, defined in the broadest of terms and developed through multiple methods. Content or concept determines the process and material used for works that often straddle a line between drawing and sculpture.
