I work in layers, slowly exploring the sublime in the world around us. Juxtaposing aerial photographs of areas we consider vast with enlargements of microscopic life that we find in those landscapes, I find repeating shapes and forms throughout nature at all different scales of magnification. Why does this repetition exist? Compare, for example, specimens of tree cells with satellite photos of a forest ecosystem- the similarities are compelling.
Using acylic, plaster, thread, papers, netting, and other materials, I try to capture the emptiness and intricacy, interweave the similar forms, mirror those lines that contain and define, illustrate the imperfections in these relationships between living things. Through my experience of the making of these new, composite, landscapes I explore the interconnectedness of the natural world.
