I find the American urban/suburban landscape ironic in relation to larger world issues such as globalization and environmental destruction. Each day I am bombarded with humanity's failure to forge a sympathetic accord between culture and nature. The hideous and seductive, the humorous and heartbreaking are combined to reference the organic nature of sprawl to the human body and landscape.

Lattice is an undulating soft sculpture composed of nylon fabric tubes stuffed with a growing medium and seeded with plants found in the locale. This work stretches throughout the gallery creating a green space that speaks to contemporary re-imaginings of hard and soft, drawing and sculpture, space and time, fragility and regeneration. Here, each soft grey tube will slowly turn green and generate an event in the growing of textures, shadows, and smells. The ephemeral life cycle of these living organic elements echoes the reality of our own vulnerability. This living delineation or green drawing/sculpture also brings the possibility of community involvement in its tending and care or in the creation of a work outside the exhibition space. I aspire to create projects that are conceptually rigorous and poetic, inspiring passive viewers to become empowered participants playing a significant role in creating a truly sustainable future.
