Underpinnings
My artistic practice explores our contemporary culture and its growing disconnection from the natural world- our environment - through painting, drawing, and in situ land sculptures.
I am instructed in my process by the collective unconscious, a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung to describe the shared unconscious mind of humanity that contains universal archetypes and symbols and actions. Jung and I believe that the collective subconscious influences our thoughts, behavior, and worldview, and that it is a product of ancestral experience.
My practice and process is one of working to reveal hidden patterns and connections buried deep within my psyche. I aim to inspire reflection and awareness on how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the environment.
