Walking and observing the landscape are central to my process. Exposed roots, eroding water systems, and layered rock formations reveal the subtle structures that shape ecosystems over time. In the studio, these observations are translated into material assemblies that suggest movement, accumulation, and drift.
Working with paper, textiles, and found natural elements, layered surfaces emerge through tearing, embedding, and erosion. Torn edges, stitched threads and textured surfaces allow materials to interact in ways that echo natural processes revealing and concealing fragments to suggest what lies beyond immediate view.
Rather than beginning with fixed designs, the process grows from observation and experimentation. Working with materials until relationships emerge, allows surfaces to rupture, overlap, and reveal underlying structures.
The resulting pieces resemble fragments of terrain or cross-sections of landscape—visual structures that suggest both surface and subsurface environments and their hidden meanings.
Through this work I explore how landscapes hold multiple histories at once: ecological, geological, and human. Each piece becomes a terrain where materials, time, and place intersect.
