Artist’s Statement
“Ent Wife” — acrylic and mixed media on canvas.
I have always been enthralled with how we have, over time, connected and disconnected with the environment through our practices, narratives, and uses. In this time of global warming and wildfires, I feel a duty to create work that instills empathy for our rural landscapes, and reminds us how much a part of us they are. In my work, nature is embodied in human form (and vice versa) as a reminder of how the environment is a reflection of our bodies, our choices, and our actions, and keeps us accountable.
