My art is a vehicle through which I challenge perceptions of society and our relationship to the environment. My recent work consists primarily of artists' books, sound and video that critique historical and current situations. These topics range from colonization and the introduction of species to narratives where images of buildings worldwide are subjected to similar terrible fates. I use mixed media to create narratives and artificial scenarios that comment on social ills. My intent is to use visual art to provoke viewers to recall personal memories and examine larger scale situations of environmental or social significance. The integration of self-written text with imagery allows for complex issues, such as colonialism and the resulting introduction of disease, to be addressed.

Visually, I explore textures that suggest history and links to specific moments in the past. Some of these textures allude to decaying matter as a result of disease introduced by exploration and subjugation. These surfaces are evocative of the past yet they hint at possible future scenarios. Imagery and text together combine commonplace elements, such as trees and buildings, in ways that challenge the viewer to see differently.
