I treat the world as a found object.

My work collects layers of acrylic, rice paper, wood-ash, walnut ink, feathers, rust, branches, lichen, nuts, bark, leaves, roots, and nests, just to name a few, into a tapestry of memory I call elemental collage. 

The pieces here are part of multiple, ongoing series exploring the relationship between generational history as it manifests in reclaiming and revitalizing what's been discarded.
