My art focuses on our disconnect with nature and ultimately with ourselves. The visual portrayal of these relationships is abstractly created through a specific choice of materials, forms, and techniques. These varying combinations infer a multitude of personal, cultural, and ecological implications.

A basic repeated pattern, line, or form helps direct a work of art. The art’s outcome is determined by how this repetition progresses within the inherent restrictions of a particular process, material, and/or space. Many of the materials used are consumer objects produced from raw or natural resources, which are then fabricated into synthetic materials. In turn, I reconstitute these man-made objects and materials back into some semblance of a natural form.

The art attempts to reconcile the natural and man-made into some form of a shared expression. However, the art often reveals awkward relationships of oppositions which, in themselves, have a strangely innate beauty and peculiarity. The disconnect between ourselves and nature generates the endless repetitive forms in my search to understand this fractured and convoluted relationship we have unnaturally designed.
