My current body work is a series of small installations that live as ponderings about the intersection between nature and magic. Each iteration exists as a dimensional sketch that muses about striking mysteries or illuminating realities of the natural world. Cicadas burrow underground for seventeen years only to emerge for one summer of ceaseless singing. How could a crop circle containing 410 circles of varying sizes and mathematical precision possibly be the work of a human caper spanning the length of one night? The sailing stones of Death Valley are 700 pound chunks of dolomite that inexplicably move hundreds of feet across the flat desert via the workings of a light whisper of winter ice. These are a few of the queries and celebrations that my work seeks to venerate.

The materials utilized in my work aim to express a magnetic quality. My trinity of materials all contain metal - ceramic (minerals) film photography (silver particles) and copper. This is significant because of the natural charge that runs rampant through the universe and every biological being in it. Metal emits, transmits, conducts, surges, etc. Whatever form it takes, it is alive. I feel that by using these materials in my work, I can aspire to create something that is suspended in an energetic field of its own.

My present desire in this work is less about working to eke out a familiar theme amongst the body of work, but rather an attempt to create a metaphorical container big enough to fit all of these tangents.
