ECHOES

Santiago, Chile
2017-2018
I am fascinated in the movement and transformation of the environment. I choose sites of investigation to depict ways in which relationships between living organisms and non-living objects interact. From these interactions, I use nature’s self-organized systems as inspiration for paintings, sculptures and installations that address how we relate to one another.

Echoes documents the resilient transformation of the pueblo of Nirvilio, Chile as it recovered from devastating wildfires. The paintings document the capacities and resilient motives of both the land and the inhabitants who endured and worked with the conditions before them.
