Artist statement

My artwork seeks connections between humans and examines how those parallel our relationship with the environment. I incorporate natural materials joined together with fabricated objects to establish a contact between man and nature. Each creation explores the human quest for comfort versus our need to live mindfully on the earth. The works can be temporary, created using materials and elements on site which decompose in time - symbolic of the cycle and regeneration of our planet. My work is based on the exchange of ideas and resources, sometimes with direct participation by people as possible vehicles for social change. I have been studying specifically the fragility and strength of water and our dependence on this natural resource since 2015. Through my practice I nurture a discourse on human existence as a whole, its kinship to systems of control, time, and nature. Focused on video, installation, painting, and sculpture, my work attempts to transcend the ruins of the past and the challenges of the present by offering a context that facilitates the analysis of our responsibility, needs and desires in a future unknown.
