Nature inspires me.

I take visual and conceptual cues from the shape of a rock carved and splintered by erosion forces; lines etched in the sand by wind at the beach; or the powerful flow of water as it slices a deep gorge into mountains.

Like nature, my practice is in a constant state of regeneration: in flux between fragility and sustainability, form and process, in a continual cycle of life and decay.
