Works in this collection were made between 2020 and 2022. Some were completed during the Post-Graduate Residency at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA during 2020.

These works encourage a slowing down. Most of them were conceived during walks near the Patapsco River. Weekly walks in the forest have been an essential part of my practice, equally for relaxation, appreciation of the world around me and for observation and documentation of moss, water, fungi and lichen.

"Becoming Still" is a dystopian-looking object functioning as a memory box of earth. Speculative in its nature, it is constructed for a time where nature is no longer readily available. In the video the humans-less landscape, contrasts with the context of the hypothetical viewer, who is missing nature. At the top of the sculpture is a small planter box housing basil, which I chose for its aroma.
Fabric prints like "soil crumbled by bits of lichen" and "sway with the trees, feel the wind among your limbs" have photographs that I have taken in or near the Patapsco State Park. Some have been digitally altered. I'm interested in the layering of images and creating dense landscapes that both appear to be a macro and micro viewpoints. The busy and wild landscapes thriving even if they appear chaotic to the eye. The small creatures and beings in our landscapes are integral for the overall functioning of the ecosystem. When the viewer walks by these fabric prints their body's movement makes the fabric slightly wave suggestive of our effect on our environment.
