Additional information:
I create large-scale sculptures out of plant and other organic material. These shamanic and feral creatures and their artefacts are components of public art installations. After the run of the exhibition, the sculptures are brought out to my “Boneyard” to decompose. I document their entropic phase and print images using a variety of historic, alternative, or experimental processes. For a long time, I have wanted to produce a series using the skunk cabbage that is abundant at the site.
My work is produced where the natural world meets the narrative impulse. In stories, we find hope that problems may be solved, and difficulties navigated.
