Observing fragile coastal ecosystems, my work responds to humanity’s disturbing impact upon earth’s aquatic equilibrium. Filtration, permeability, and flow make up the conceptual core of my work. These concepts are clarified by my material choices and working processes. As an object maker, I select materials that require careful control over the absence and presence of water. I utilize a multitude of materials in creating objects, all of which need water in order to take shape.

Water is essential to survival; humans dominate this resource by diverting and controlling it through elaborately constructed systems. Affects of time and erosion are fascinating; they provide evidence of water’s immensely dynamic and transformative power. As both an artist and an activist, I channel my research toward improving water quality through objects that signify environmental remediation.
