About The Artwork
An installation made up of 1, 341 individually handmade, ceramic Ginkgo leaves. After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, six Ginkgo tress were found still living and thriving in the devastated area. Because of their resilience the Ginkgo is thought to be the oldest living tree in the world and is considered a living fossil. USing the leaves of the Ginkgo tree as a symbol for resilience, my piece seeks to convert the balance of seemingly opposing forces: strong vs. weak, resilient vs. fragile, closed vs. oped, guarded vs. vulnerable, controlled vs. emotional. Rather than being two forces on opposite ends of an emotional spectrum, each pair of words are more related than they may first appear. We gain strength from being weak and in turn can become weak in an attempt to be strong. In order to survive, endure and overcome hardship we must embrace the constant flux of each force. Only then can we achieve a sense of balance and equilibrium.

My work varies in both medium and content, but what seems to be a primary source of inspiration is nature, more specifically the idea of collective behavior in plants, animals, and bacteria. Whether it's a print made up of tiny marks repeated across the page or an installation made up of thousands of little pieces, my work is often laborious, tedious, and meticulous. I believe that art, first and foremost, should have a visual presence - a seductive beauty.
