Artist Statement
I am interested in returning events in nature that ground us, the dynamic between nature and our frailty and weaknesses as humans; a continual process of rebalancing and adjusting. I work in dimensional layers crossing between real and imaginary in my installations. I recycle natural forms, curious objects, visual impressions of the landscape and the elements of nature, lost fragments, imprints and forgotten stories. I look for subconscious links with the landscape, memories and fiction that are perhaps hidden or distorted in our awareness.
I hope to engage people to reflect on their subliminal relationship with nature, to explore real and imagined perceptions, and perhaps to create new and stronger connections. I believe that increasing this awareness enables us to understand ourselves better and helps us to appreciate the essential need to coexist in harmony with this planet.
