Statement

My artwork revolves around the subject of fossil fuels. The large-scale cut-paper artworks explore the vastness of the petroleum infrastructure, evoking the physical and emotional experience of the petroleum landscape. The charcoal drawings capture the darkness of coal’s impact on our environment, urging us to confront the environmental cost of our dependence on this carbon emitting resource. My goal is to invite viewers to think more deeply about our connection to fossil fuels, and the ways in which we can use art to inspire change and address the challenges of the current climate crisis.
