Inspired by Suzanne Pierre's concept of Critical Ecology my work deconstructs anthropocentrism, explore the anthropocene and promote post humanist ideologies.

​

I spent my undergraduate years defining my practice at the intersection of land, femininity, science, and art to discover patriarchal and colonial trends that affect the environment. Material communication and the act of looking are fundamental to my practice through Foraging. Engagement with the land is indispensable to my research and translate to diverse materials, such as animal remains, insects, fungi, and flora. I then hybridize my work by incorporating the domestic sphere through textiles and motifs. 

 

Nature is attributed femininity through labels such as Mother Earth, subsequently, nature is exploited, expected to provide food and shelter. Soft sculptures combine domestic labor 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. materials like bones and dead bugs confront 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 agency for organisms through resistance 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.
