My sculptures are abstract portraits of moments I capture and experience in the landscape. I am attracted to rocks as genderless entities whose transformative nature codes them with life, and I explore what it means to be physically and emotionally intimate with them. As I travel through the natural world, I document my surroundings through 3D scanning, and then use digital fabrication techniques to reproduce the geological surfaces in new materials. In doing so, I aim to honor the history of the original form as well as the digital transformation as I catalog the moments my body and being meld with the world.

Rocks hold billions of years of history: history of water coursing through the landscape and eroding geological surfaces into unique textures; history of flora and fauna inhabiting vastly different landscapes than we see today; history of prolonged tectonic collision and fracture. My sculptures help me confront what it means to be a human in this current landscape, this current moment of geological history. They are physical manifestations of observed textures, feelings, and occurrences in the natural world.
