As an ecological artist I explore a mixed media expression of time, environment, nature, growth and play. The connection between myself and the natural, non-human world that surrounds me is key, and allows me to immerse myself into a place of creative fluid and flux. I am imbuing processes with emotion through ritual actioning, in order to better recognize my reliance on the natural world - because without it my sketchbook, my dreams, and my days would be empty. I’m seeking outcomes that I alone cannot create, handing over any control that I have, witnessing the neverending power of Nature itself.
