I do not attempt to recreate things in nature, but to translate the feelings and thoughts I have while surrounded by wilderness into a physical manifestation of my emotional and intellectual self. I yearn for the feeling of finding new organisms which the knowledge of adulthood hasn't yet spoiled, the wonder in seeing things purely for their form and beauty, and the awe of discovering their interconnection with the world around them. This manifests in the way I work, as I thrive on the unpredictable results from processes that allow me an uncontrolled freedom, and choose installation as the necessary format for display. The industrial backbone of my home town and family's history has become an unavoidable context.

My installations are malleable and do not begin or end in any one place but continuously grow as I collect knowledge, skills, tools, and experiences, canoe trip and scuba dive, and painstakingly gather and grow materials such as beeswax, seeds and hulls, moss, sands, skins and furs, clay, igneous rocks, and sounds.
