• Whether it’s corrosion and decay from water intrusion or devastation and displacement of city blocks, nature’s disasters create fascinating visual compositions that seemingly cannot be reproduced by humans. There is a poetic beauty in the monumental scale of wreckage created by these phenomena. On one hand large scale wreckage occurring from nature’s elements seem to create unanticipated, abrupt compositions while on the other hand there is the decay and erosion that can only form over a specific amount of time. Through collage, lithography, as well as other printmaking methods, I embody a creative catastrophe by allowing my energy and personal touch to manifest what will become a representation of such visual aesthetics. Engaging in this imaginative exploration of decay and erosion allows me to harvest inspiration to reshape my art.
