STATEMENT:

Human creativity and destruction have always involved the manipulation of nature. From domesticating plants and animals for food and shelter, to developing hundreds of artificial evergreen scents for household air fresheners we have expressed simultaneously reverence for and detachment from nature. By hybridizing natural forms and spaces with unnatural materials, or by modifying man made objects to reference natural forms, I explore this dichotomy in an attempt to expose my contradictory perception of and relationship to nature.
