Artist Statement
My work explore the various facets of climate change, more specifically in the context of carbon emissions and how it contributes to issues such as biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, phenological mismatch and the increased frequency in natural disasters.
My forms are sculpted from clay and are often representational with my own interpretation of surrealism through the juxtaposition of unrelated colors and textures that evoke the familiar and the obscure. The materiality of my forms serves as a basis for exploration but also our connection to the earth beneath our feet.
My art bends the space of reality and captures the dynamic relationship between humans and nature, with each sculpture focused on a theme or specific narrative under the umbrella of climate change that is constantly evolving.
