Statement

My work explores the complex relationships of humans and nature from an ecocentric point of view. It is often driven by concerns with climate change and environmental degradation.

Focusing on alternative and experimental photographic processes, I continually seek to evolve my practice by using sustainable materials and minimizing waste.

My small scale pieces evoke the dichotomies of beauty and darkness, power and fragility, eternity and transience within a warming world.
