My work is rooted in a collaborative relationship with material, shaped by close attention to its specific visual and tactile qualities. It is through this sustained attunement that I begin the act of making. Raised in Ithaca, New York, surrounded by farmland, deciduous forests, waterfalls, and the Finger Lakes, I developed an early affinity for natural environments. I observed how processes of erosion, accumulation, and unmanaged growth slowly transform the landscape, and this sensibility continues to inform my relationship to material, repetition, temporality, and visual information.

My compositions are emergent and phenomenological. Through repeated mark-making in dialogue with the inherent characteristics of each material, structures begin to develop that are specific to the process itself. Working across different materials and scales allows me to carry simple formal elements through varied conditions, gradually suggesting new configurations. I am interested in this unknowable potential within the work, where outcomes emerge through process rather than preconception.
