Amulet I & II
This is some text inside of a div block.
In the Glyph-State series, my invented language suggests a link between this moment in time, and others, in which one may have lived other lives, spoken different languages, and understood concepts that are currently obscured. Within this assemblage piece, the characters indicate loss of connection and fundamental inability to understand. Tightly bound together with wire and upcycled fabric, the pieces are suggestive of efforts made towards repair and reconciliation.
Study I for Glyph-State series
This is some text inside of a div block.
The Glyph-State series explores abstracted symbols and letterforms that are at once familiar and unknown. These deconstructed glyphs might originate in the future or in the past, and their meaning is, as of yet, unclear. Except in the sense that they establish a link between this moment in time, and others, in which one may have lived other lives, spoken different languages, and understood concepts that are currently obscured.

Oxide IV
This is some text inside of a div block.
Part of the Glyph-State series, this piece visualizes the experience of being guided by subtle wisdom: messages received via intuition, the body, dreams, omens, and synchronicities. Murmurs from this inherent communications frequency are presented here as deconstructed, vaguely familiar symbols, reflecting the varying degrees to which such transmissions are obscured by the conditions of modern life.
Pythia
This is some text inside of a div block.
Working with earth materials is teaching me that a closer connection to land can provide a vital healing process for our time. The piece references the ancient snake-spirit, Pythia, which rose up from deep in the earth at Delphi to become one with her priestess, giving voice to oracular messages for their devotees. Artists too may work as intermediaries, weaving potent messages into culture when they are needed most.

The Star (In the Ravine)
This is some text inside of a div block.
In the 17th card in the traditional Tarot deck, I found three primary elements: woman, water, and of course, celestial bodies. These symbols, abstracted, divulge a vision in which the energetic feminine contains the power of creation. There, within the void, dark waters move and tiny flickers point the way.
Temple Guardians
This is some text inside of a div block.
Sculptures and site-specific installation completed during March / April 2024 artist residency on a cattle ranch in Salta, Argentina. Cattle rib bones were found in the mountains, cleaned and processed, and woven into tapestries. The works will be installed at the entrance to a planned temple / healing center on site.
