Forest

I am intrigued by the patches of wild forests situated within the tightly planned suburbs and cities where I find myself in. The forest is alive all around us. As I wander in these small forests in my neighborhood, I photograph, draw, take notes, and collect objects. Carefully bringing these objects and experiences back to my studio, I observe and arrange them into a composition. Trees are often my starting point. I combine photography via photo transfer prints and add in drawing, sewing, painting, and more. Creating about them is just as much documentation of our time as it is an excellent way for me to reconnect with nature every day.
