I want to salvage and revive our connection to the natural world. I study rich textile and hand craft traditions, using them in collaboration with found botanical and organic material. In this way I symbolically bind nature and the human touch. Both tender and ruthless, this intricate and sensitive work implies that our relationship to nature is both tenuously fragile and infinitely complex. It is my hope to inspire a shifted perspective on the way we view the natural world; to explore and appreciate what is so often overlooked and to realize the potential for existence in balance with nature.
