Artist's statement

​My work investigates the physical interactions and relationships between humans and nature. How do we interact with the spaces or objects that control and manipulate our environment? What are the materials that build the framework of these spaces? And how different is our constructed environment from the one around us? I draw off these three main questions and attempt to answer them and produce a conversation by using recognizable yet obscured, altered and translated objects to re-contextualize our fabricated environment. By taking natural elements and reapplying them into common forms we use and recognize, I attempt to shine a light on these moments we encounter daily but ignore.
