My work explores environmental disaster and the constructed divisions that are used to define and separate nature from culture. The subject of my art practice is disaster. However, my practice is also an investigation of the space between what we know and what we feel. My primary formal tools are drawing, paper cutting, and an alchemy of various materials, often including wildfire charcoal and ash. My intention with using mapping and a scientific visual vocabulary is to utilize their communicative abilities while disrupting the expectation of objectivity. I venture to create work that references distance and logic while pointing toward a more primal and intuitive understanding of the natural world. I have created new boundaries and moments for seeing within the official map space. Disaster is wrought with irrational, sensorial, and emotional qualities. I am interested in our relentless endeavors to differentiate culture from nature while believing it to be an impossibility. What is important to me is not to explode the container but to contemplate the pliability and multiple interiors of such demarcated spaces as disaster zones.
