“The natural world represents to me the interconnectedness of life, the fragility of nature and its patterns, symmetry and randomness, and constant change. Adaptation is affected by imposed environmental conditions; mutations are caused, speciation altered.  Are we imposers? Subjects? Bystanders? We are all of these. My sculptures, made from found objects, resin, beads, glass and jewels refer to our culture but also to the continual survival and evolution of nature.  An obscene abundance of sparkle and glam adorns the pieces while nature inexorably colonizes and continues. I like to combine symbols of wealth or culture with their opposites to highlight a bigger discussion about our fast changing relationship with the planet and with nature in general. My drawings, inspired by a trip to the Arctic, reference bubbles and cracks in the ice, nature, time and physics.”
