Artist's Statement

At the heart of my artistic practice is empathy: a desire to find ways of belonging more deeply to one another.

In my work, I explore the layered relationship between the physical environment and the inner world, as well as the human place within a multispecies, interdependent world.

I work with cyanotype, moving image, text and sound. Site-specific approaches and urban environments often serve as starting points for my work.
