Artist Statement
.
I question what intelligent life actually means, in context of humanity's search for life on other planets, to the questionable actions of humans (the self-described apex intelligence) that require reparations on this planet. How can art effectively increase our awareness and understanding of the natural world we inhabit so that we might become better stewards of and within it?
.
Art making is the active process of searching for visual moments that express our passive connection and active engagement with human beings, nonhuman relatives, and nonliving materials. Since it can be seemingly impossible to imagine just how interconnected we are to the visible and micro-visible life forms around us, my art offers a starting point from which to examine how we each play a role (willingly or not) in environmental, biological, and cultural systems. Blending my interests of science and art, I play with light, shadow, color and space to create abstractions of the natural world. In a political climate that aims to divide us from one another and our natural treasures, I feel urgency to create quiet moments for people to reflect on our interconnectedness to one another and our environment.
