Artist Statement My practice is rooted in drawing as a relational activity, shaped through close observation and iterative mark-making. I consider how sustained attention might make fragile ecological, psychological, and knowledge-based systems perceptible.
My work is shaped by attention to ecological systems under pressure, and to the instability produced by a changing climate. I draw from my immediate surroundings, gathering materials and references through extended observation of plant, animal, and insect life. Drawing functions as a gathering of these encounters.
My work relates to botanical drawing traditions of collecting and documentation, but observation in my practice extends into memory and association. I draw on spiritualist logics, divinatory structures, architectural thinking, and speculative world-building as ways of considering how knowledge forms.
