My work is about place, drawing on relationships with urban and rural places. Boxed:Shift took shape in response to an urban environment of geometric forms and a palette reflecting the light of water and sky over San Francisco Bay. Relocating in 2023 to New Mexico, the work is transforming in response to the high desert: the plants, soil and stone of the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountains, the shifting Rio Grande Rift, ever changing skies, fierce light and seasonal palette. And the undulating surface of adobe, drystone walls, and acequia reflect the human imprint on the land, and how these elements influence our experience of this place.

Edge draws on my fascination with the point at which the edges of natural features meet another plane — land, water, sky, the intersection where one becomes another. They imagine the geological and biological processes shaping landscape over millennia and taking place beneath our feet - from the evolution of soil and life on the planet, to the forces of deposition, erosion, faulting and uplift creating land forms.
