We have a symbiotic relationship with the natural world and through printmaking techniques, I respond to post-industrial landscapes and the age of the Anthropocene. A dominant influence in my work is uninhabited urban architectural forms that I see around me and the materials that are naturally sourced; metal, concrete/ brick, vines/weeds, and native foliage. By removing any figurative element and rather showing the post-inhabited surroundings, this work describes the footprint and pain we leave behind on the land and explores the regrowth of the natural world after industrial influence, depicting the slow and methodical resilience and reclamation of nature. Elements of decay depicted by rusted and patinated structures both represent the destructive hand we force on nature while also demonstrates the power of nature and their cycles returning these man made structures to their original roots.

The World We Overlook

This work demonstrates the nuanced afterlife of the world around us after industrial influence. An area once rich with life, stripped down for our own use, and then forgotten about. Highlighted colors of green and blue shine the light on the natural world fighting back and demonstrates the resilience and power of the land that we so quickly strip of beauty. A sense of hope and life brought back into each print by artist hand mends our relationship with the natural world and gives space of nature to breath.
