Artist statement
I make work that contemplates the emergence of the Anthropocene, responding to the personal and communal grief that comes with facing a world shaped by climate change and capitalism, and the hope sparked by communities actively combating it. I am interested in art practices that center community and am also excited by the materiality of my mediums, working with innovative and experimental print and photo processes that push for non-toxic and sustainable approaches to art-making.
