Overview

Influenced by environmental concerns as well as the rapaciousness of globalization my work has evolved to encompass aspects of landscape and architecture in order to create metaphors of psychological space. In an increasingly globalized culture, a growing sense of placelessness makes it more and more difficult for us to place our own identity. My new works are studies of geographic dislocation and its attendant complexities, as well as antidotes to the prevailing need to belong somewhere. I create fictitious environments wrought with familiar details from built structures and the natural landscape that are encoded with social and emotional values. In my restructuring of these elements, the familiar becomes unfamiliar, leading us to re-evaluate our sense of place in this energetic, overbuilt, and complex world.

These fictitious environments blur the boundaries between landscape and architecture and scramble the distinctions between organic and synthetic. Ambiguous in nature they explore the experience of place - the accumulated life experiences of geographical places and psychological spaces.

These works use natural materials as metaphor for growth and change to explore the body. Inspired by human anatomy books, pregnancy, and birth.
