For me, art is the fundamental metaphysical activity of humankind. Cézanne stated that art and nature present themselves as two harmonies, existing alongside each other, thereby being equal. It is these liminal spaces, the transitional overlap between two ideas, I find fascinating. The most common and ancient of these exist in the threshold between culture and nature. My work, therefore, is concerned with the increasingly complex relationship we have with our natural environment. As we build our cities, and develop societies and economies, I observe less integration and more commodification and manipulation of nature to fit a human-centered imperative.
