Artist Statement

As an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of art, science, technology, and nature, my practice is one of exploration. The concept of my current work is interconnectedness – the deep interwoven systems of humans and nature. Using sound, drawing and sculpture, I am investigating the links between people’s interplay with objects and the environment, while highlighting networks, revealing relationships, and framing the landscape in terms of human impact.
