Driven by curiosity and adventure, I have spent my career investigating a variety of materials and media to mine their visual and physical attributes, playing with changing forms of expression and experimenting with the new. This process has driven the evolution of my work over the years, moving from early video art and performance into drawing.

Currently, I am inspired by maps of coastlines, those serpentine lines that chart where land meets water, sites of biological convergence and transformation that are increasingly vulnerable to climate change and human impact. In that tenuous boundary, I see all of nature and life itself: fluid, unstable, and endlessly reshaped by time. I interpret this through layered, abstract lines and shapes that map unseen life forms and energetic exchanges, records of forces always in flux. By tracing and reimagining the coastline’s contour, I seemingly compress multiple moments into a single form.

The Coastal Series emerged after a 2024 residency during which I lived for two months on a fjord in Norway. That experience sparked a keen connection to shorelines, leading me to create drawings inspired by the coasts of Iceland, the fjords of Norway, Long Island Sound, the South Shore of Long Island, the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, and Lower Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy.

My drawings combine graphite and ink with rephotographed and digitally manipulated imagery of microscopic organisms, maps, cells, organs, bacterial particles, brain activity, and my own cutout shapes. These fragments serve not as scientific documentation but as raw material for abstraction and conceptual exploration. The resulting compositions are improvisational, intuitive, and process-driven. I crop, combine, paint, paste, and draw onto paper, allowing unexpected relationships to emerge between natural and technological elements.

The finished works provide only partial recognition, traces of a speculative biology or memories of a landscape half-erased. They reflect the fluidity of life forms and the entanglement of nature, imagination, and human intervention.

Throughout my practice, the rhythms of dance and film are inherent, informing the gesture, sequence, and movement that flow through the work.
