My work explores grief through an environmental lens, conjuring images of the sublime, where both the beautiful and the horrific converge. Through abstraction, I investigate environmental and biological catastrophes, the basic mechanics of which are often unseen but threaten our very existence. On a microscopic level, biological phenomena necessary to sustain life are complex structures, and we only become aware of their disequilibrium as we approach the brink of disaster, whether by means of climate change, disease, or famine. The disruption of these systems by human interference or natural forces causes a chain reaction of devastation from which it is hard to recover. My work combines dissected photographs of the landscape with layered mark-making to generate imagined networks or systems. I exploit this tension to evoke a reverence for the earth while simultaneously responding to the feeling of helplessness as I observe the rapid pace of environmental destruction.
