artist statement
Exploration and the literal path less traveled inform my art practice. I vigilantly attend to the natural world at multiple and simultaneous scales as a methodology to examine place and what constitutes my local landscape. My mission is to locate landscapes and interactions deemed mapped or known and create alternative geographies that transform how we experience a place. I want to transmit my sense of wonder in the familiar and encourage others to make art that awakens the curiosity for the quotidian in my viewers: transforming spectators into participants yearning to explore their surrounding environments, perhaps developing individual and collective strategies to connect and co-exist with the world around them.« more »
