Artist Statement
2024

Attempting to diverge from human-centric thought, my work deconstructs hierarchy to explore subliminal powers. Stimulated by critical ecology, I am invested in the intersection of Eurocentrism, feminism, and the environment to draw exploitative parallels. My art explores causal relations between social constructs and reality. 

 

Nature is attributed femininity through labels such as Mother Earth, subsequently, she is exploited. Soft sculptures combine domestic labour and nature into estimable forms that distort binaries between land and body. Nature is brought into urban spaces to juxtapose environments and encourage child-like curiosity untouched by master narratives. Exploration of memento mori provokes questions about human interaction vs intervention, which inherently distinguishes humans as separate from nature and how modernity compartmentalizes life. These areas of investigation direct my research into the multifaceted understanding of nature and belonging. 

 

My work exhibits a desire to prompt reclamation to land and agency for organisms through removal from human-centric thought and the ego death of man. Explorations of self and belonging in a patriarchal world are innately explored in my work, and at times overt. My art is a response to the world in flux and therefore, I refrain from defining my practice by subject, medium, or research.
