My work investigates and observes natural processes on their own terms, relating them to the broader universe to present new means of looking at the world. I adopt observational qualities of a scientist, experimenting with materials to achieve potential results, and responding to unexpected outcomes. My recent work reveals a new type of chemistry pairing clay, indigo, meteorites, and glass; materials we might regard as extreme until we realize the sources that make them possible.
Sourcing materials from libraries, archives, the Lunar & Planetary Institute, etc., I collect and work with images that build a narrative around the origins of traditional knowledge, such as natural dye techniques, pairing these lost traditions with fundamental concepts like timekeeping and pondering our position in the universe.
