At the heart of my artwork is an examination of the breakdown of our connections with the natural world--with natural rhythms, our environment, our food, even with our bodies. Our experience of nature has been tamed and simplified, and also increasingly mediated by man-made objects that serve to create barriers between ourselves and our
experiences of the world. In my work I use imagery from nature to explore this retreat from the natural world, and to question and strengthen my own connection back to nature.
