My current body of work explores ideas of geology, piling, webs, and balance. Through worlds and structures comprised of geometric shapes, lines, and repetitive mark making, I explore just how much can be piled up before falling down. Jungle gyms, constellations, rock formations, and mountains twist, climb, and interconnect. Geologic history within the work carries a cause and effect, creating connections that are marked, mapped, and layered. Size, height, and form work together to build a solid foundation that can shift between micro and macro views creating a three-dimensional effect.
