Working at the intersection of botanical forms and geometric abstraction, my collage work draws inspiration from the light, water, and woods of the Puget Sound island I call home. Guided by their rhythms, my work explores themes of impermanence, transformation, and renewal of the seasons. I emphasize the value of the handmade by incorporating reused materials, particularly pages from vintage texts. Words and fragments of text become part of the geometry, providing an intentional counterpoint to the organic curves of botanical forms.
