Statement

I am interested in exploring ways in which our perceptions of nature and the landscape are influenced by popular culture. My research has involved looking at sources ranging from apocalyptic fiction and horror films, to urban planning and geography. Working primarily in the areas of painting, drawing, and sculpture, I use various mediums and materials to explore subjects such as disaster, dystopia, and the tension between the urban and natural worlds.
