Screenprints, graphite rubbings, and archival pigment print on Japanese gampi and washi papers
And Beneath the Water the Space of Time Echoes explores the concept of Deep Time through the ancient chert rock beds of the Marin Headlands, which are over 200 million years old. The work seeks to deepen the connection between humans and the Earth by centering a relationship with these once-living rocks, inviting viewers to reflect on the vastness of geological time and our place within it. The project blends photographs, screenprints, and textures from the chert itself, creating abstract arrangements that subtly incorporate elements of the landscape, particularly the ocean — where the chert originated.

Archival Inkjet Prints, Gelatin Silver Print, Table, Objects
I am interested in remnants and recurrence, the magical and the mundane, and our connection to space and time. In my studio or in the landscape, I create arrangements using common materials like paper, tape, plaster, and rocks. The resulting compositions are an interplay between objects, sunlight, color, and shadows, revealing something elemental and transitory about a time and a place.

This work is a topography of the self: a collage of the found, broken, and made.
Natural and manmade objects rest on top of a photographic print. The photograph is of the same objects printed at a 1:1 scale, creating questions around what’s real and what’s photographic. Through this illusion, the notion of objective photographic truth becomes a site of play and inquiry.

This piece records of the sun’s changing angle over the course of a single day. Images shown in the installation are from approximately 11am, 12 pm, 2 pm, and 4:30pm. The parallelogram shape is formed as a result of the shadow of a rectangular object blocking the sun from reaching the light-sensitive paper.
