In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
Nature grounds me in reality. Since I was a kid growing up in New York City I always looked for the sliver of sky or ran to the nearest river or tree for solace.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
Being part of a thriving ecosystem is the ultimate source of belonging. Similar to being in family or community where mutual aid is cyclical and regenerative.
