I am a systems and climate artist investigating how environments, infrastructures, and living systems determine what becomes visible, valuable, or expendable.
I work with discarded objects, organic matter, and microbial processes to question who and what belongs, what is considered useful or valuable. My projects attend to the overlooked: materials and places in transition, and ecological processes that remain largely invisible.
Some works are time-based, living, and impermanent; designed to change, disappear, or return to the earth. Others are visual encounters with the infrastructures and unique objects that may be overlooked; small objects, rendered invisible in singularity, are made visible when amassed to juxtapositions in the landscape.
I make art from what we have been taught to forget: how to grieve, repair, care for land, and remain present with transition and breakdown. My public teaching and mutual-aid compost practice can be found at The Velveteen Bean.
