My practice investigates the architecture of threatened land. Using concrete as a primary medium, I cast forms from discarded remnants of the everyday—plastic containers, ceiling tiles, and the desiccated “deserts” found at the bottom of slush buckets. Recently, I have turned to the ground beneath my feet, taking direct molds of the asphalt parking lot outside my former studio. As the property is under new ownership, these casts act as a tactile archive of a space in transition.
To explore tensions between the organic and the industrial, I incorporate Faux Bois techniques and molds of a tree stump from land threatened by development. By capturing wood grain in stone-like concrete, I create a dialogue between natural and built environments.
Drawing on Kintsugi philosophy, I treat fractures as historical markers. Highlighted with pearls, porcelain roses or 24-karat gold leaf, these breaks become celebrations of resilience within a continually shifting landscape.
