I’m an artist and designer based in the Bay Area and New Mexico.
My practice is rooted in a deep appreciation for the landscape and a fascination with human impact on the land. I’m interested in how detritus and human artifacts accumulate, and the new forms they assume over time. As objects disintegrate and evolve they become obsolete, and their original intended purpose can blur the subtle distinctions between the old world and a potential new world.
I explore these worlds by suspending transparent silk from human and naturally formed structures. I’m drawn to silk’s organic undulation, and its subtler qualities: transparency, luminescence, and delicacy. Both fabric and geologic surfaces display movement, change, and decay. The relationship between the drape of fabric, and the folds of the earth inform my work about the surface of the land and its current state.
