The world is mysterious and enchanted. As an interdisciplinary artist, I explore the entanglements between magic, ecology, and the spiritual Imagination. I am deeply curious about the nature of consciousness.
What we perceive—through our physical and spiritual senses—shapes how we understand and navigate our world. I am particularly invested in the phenomena of unseen worlds, from the microscopic to the parallel mythic realms that surround us. This interest in traversing the borderlands of consciousness began with my folkloric understanding that the land is alive and invisible beings inhabit the world just beyond our everyday perception. As such, my recent work centers on lenses and apertures as ocular portals. It is inspired by the knowledge that in the same historical moment that some gazed into crystal balls to glimpse the future, others looked through telescope lenses to observe light emerging from the past or peered through tiny glass balls in early microscopes to reveal an unseen world of microbes.
Taking form through sculpture, photography, and ritual, I ground my work in rigorous research and a considered sense of craft. For me, craft operates as an act of nurturing and respecting my materials. From flowers and fungi to minerals, spirits, and subatomic particles, materials are active collaborators in my practice. I work with materials that have their own agency, but are also encoded with human histories and connotations. Like ingredients in a potion, each material builds layers of meaning in the work, coming together to transmute into something new.
