Ships in a Crate
Several years ago, a large tree blew down in my yard during a storm. As I was clearing the fallen tree I noticed the similarities between the upturned root systems and the human circulatory system. I became fascinated by the organic likenesses I found between plants and humanity. With this piece I hope to convey how nature is IN us, not outside of us. This piece is life-size! It was created by layering hundreds of cut images between multiple thin applications of resin. The piece is mounted to a cradled wood panel so there is no need to frame - it is ready to hang as is.

Using hundreds of carefully curated cuttings, I seek to create collages that speak to the inter-connectivity between humans and their environment. Each piece consists of intricately constructed human figures made of images of flora and fauna, layered between multiple sheets of resin to create three-dimensional forms. My earliest memories consist of my childhood in Southeast Alaska and the local Native American creation myths of shape-shifting entities that could be animal, plant, or human at will. After years of studying and then teaching figurative painting in the states and abroad, I returned to the Pacific Northwest and my love of nature and the stories of my youth were reignited. Armed with my anatomical studies, I began piecing together my own mythical creatures, both human and plant, wed by the repetition of organic patterns and structures. My work explores humanity's relationship to nature, the repetition of organic forms, patterns, and structures that reoccur in the world around us as well as the world within us. I want to show the likenesses between the natural world and human anatomy: sticks as arteries, root systems as veins and capillaries, the knots and joints in wood as the knuckles, joints, and phalanges in our hands and feet. On a deeper level, I hope to illustrate through these similarities humanity's inter-relatedness and dependence on the natural world.
