Walking and observing the landscape are central to my practice. Exposed roots, eroding water systems, and layered rock formations reveal the subtle structures that shape both surfaces and subsurfaces over time. Observing human experience reveals a similar architecture. In the studio, these observations translate into material assemblies that mirror time, movement, accumulation, and change.
Rather than beginning with a fixed design, I start with questions about perception, transition, and layered memory. This conceptual process guides the direction so that materials are pushed until relationships emerge, allowing surfaces to rupture, overlap, and expose underlying structures.
Working with paper, textiles, and organic elements, layered compositions emerge through tearing, embedding, and erosion. Torn edges, stitched threads, and tactile surfaces interact to echo natural forces—revealing and concealing fragments to suggest what lies beneath immediate view.
The resulting works—whether wall constructions or artist’s books—resemble fragments of terrain or cross-sections of human interiority: visual structures that inhabit the threshold between the exposed surface and the hidden depth.
