“My work uses foraged and found materials to create paintings for atmospheric videos, immersive installations and handmade animations. Creating ink from natural materials and invasive species, I have been connecting to the landscape in tactile ways, cultivating themes of resilience and sustainability.”

My video work explores connections to the natural world through sottobosco animation and low-fi magic in experimental film. Ink paintings are created with found materials –walnut, pokeberry, blueberry, rose and oak gall along with charcoal made from invasive vines– and brought back into nature to be animated on-site. This layering of process and form, reconnects material and landscape, it allows for abstract and cyclical narratives of regeneration to unfold.
