In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
Nature – in its seasonality and its vastness – is both the subject and the backdrop of my work as I explore human interactions with the history of the land. From making images to simply flaneuring, being in nature activates my connectedness to time and place.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
To be a part of a thriving ecosystem is to be conscious stewards of the land, recognizing the fluid state of give and take.
