Earth pigment paintings, biomaterial based sculptures a & objects 

Contemporary abstract art and bio-based works made from earth pigments, clay-based media, and experimental biomaterials. Worked slowly, in layers, with full attention.

 

These works are rooted in one conviction: the body responds to what surrounds it and what it is made from. The natural world is astonishing in its complexity and beauty, and we are losing it.

Fast.

Working with its oldest materials, slowly, without shortcuts, feels both necessary and urgent. It's a way of paying attention that objects designed to be replaced and instant images cannot.
