    ART WITHIN LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE

    personal and collective mythology

    Ideas about place making are changing, as our society feels the torque of the unsustainable environmental pressures we have put on the earth. Added to the rise of complexity in our social and cultural dynamics, these challenges evoke a call for a deeper humanity and a more bold imagination. Being at the heart of this collective conversation is what art means to me, exploring questions about who we are, where we have come from, and where we are going.

    I sculpt and build with durable materials such as stone, steel and earth, animating public and private spaces with a raw physicality and mythology. The wisdom embedded within each context inspires me, and I use both instinct and active research to draw connections through cultural memory and identity, geology, biology and the full diversity of life expressed within our physical landscapes. The engagement and enhancement of this richness is both provocative and practical as a way of thinking about the future landscapes we are building.
