My work begins with accumulation.
I use fiber-based processes including crochet, weaving, stitching, and soft sculptural construction to build dense, layered forms that echo geological and ecological systems shaped over long spans of time. Caves, reefs, eroded landforms, sediment deposits, and invasive growth patterns inform the physical language of the work without being directly depicted.
Working primarily with natural and reclaimed materials, I am interested in how softness can hold weight, memory, and tension. Repetition and hand labor become a method of recording, with each unit contributing to a larger structure shaped by pressure, gravity, and slow transformation. Subtle disruptions in color or texture function as quiet markers of imbalance, referencing the environmental toxicity and waste that permeate contemporary landscapes.
These forms exist between states. They are organic and constructed, protective and vulnerable, stable and eroding. Through them, I explore how human presence becomes embedded in the land, not as a singular event, but as an accumulation that cannot be easily undone.
