My works are a tangible expression of my awe and spiritual elation experienced while exploring the natural world. These wall mounted sculptures are abstract, yet feel familiar, as their shapes reference my observations of plant life and landscape. My process starts with collecting flora and making natural dyes. A variety of colors are extracted from flowers, leaves, bark, and food scraps. The dye is used to stain paper, which is then cut, rolled, torn or folded in a repetitive manner. This repetition becomes a form of meditation. Each piece is filled with prayerful intent as I contemplate the splendor and serenity of the natural world. Our earth humbles me, overwhelms me, and brings me a peace that is like no other. I believe that my work represents that sentiment, and my hope is to use nature as a catalyst to bring spirituality into the physical realm of sculpture.
