In my work I try to capture a language of physical synesthesia, a geometric color and rhythm world. I am interested in interconnection and flux: chaos, weather, homeostasis and decay, ecologies. I think about non-human perspectives, the buckling of space and narrative time. 

I live in Provincetown, MA and have roots in the midwest where I am still involved in a family farm. I studied as a painter at Stanford University, in the vein of the California School of art, and have since lived and worked in many places including NYC, the US mountain west, and on a variety of field excursions. Outside of art, I return to books, music and nature for orientation. I have a background in science journalism, and a sustained interest in biology, microbiomes, and physics also informs my work.

Conceptions of environment or landscape can imply a disassociation between us and what we call wild or even industrial. Through art, I explore interdependence and entanglement, the sublime as inextricable from the ordinary. In some sense my work can be viewed as bits of spirit, or icons of interconnection. I’m beginning to explore how this work might extend into shared ecologies and public space.

Some of my recent series are un-stretched. In the pieces, boundaries are in flux, wholes are uncertain. They shift between a thing, a backdrop, a window. A glimpse of something - between me and it - becomes its own entity. I am interested in the coexistence of disparate outcomes, as in my Spin and Midwest Battlefield series.

I have prosopagnosia (face-blindness), and my fondness for people coupled with this sometimes anonymity also informs my work.
