The Unceded Lands of the NEWE, and Nuwuvi peoples. Nevada and California.

In recent work I explore the marginal and invisible - with an aesthetic that relates to scientific observation. I look at ecological geographies which trace both human and earth-based imprints; recording details in saline meadows and evaporite pools that are endemic and marginal.

Using light as the catalyst, I have moved through ideas of synaptic image ‘capture’ to that of image ‘making over time’ using observation and meditative concentration.

Using a performative approach, where gesture becomes the image, large two foot by 3 foot prints on board are replaced back into the landscape, using GPS Coordinates. This occurs periodically to record the changing seasons.

The aesthetic has moved from the ‘sublime’ to the ‘cyclical’ - speaking now of “wild stuff in its own place” (Rebecca Solnit) and “everything is connected to everything else” (Barry Commoner).
