My work explores concrete and its relationship to culture and the natural environment. Grounded primarily in a drawing practice, I examine and reveal the tension between concrete’s earthbound origins and its crafted image as a denatured marker of progress. I use drawing and other media as research tools for a continuous practice of embodied investigation into images, materials and ephemera rooted in the ordinary constructions that build and erode the American landscape.
