Introduction
Red Trees
100 Tears
World Rivers





Long-term projects influenced by natural elements and time.

RED TREES, 5 phases
Red Trees memorializes our forests and brings awareness to its depletion. Red fabric covered over 300 cut trees for one year and were bleached by the sun with impressions depicting the last breath of the tree. The"shrouds" have undergone years of transformation by interacting with earth, sun, air, water and ether. Different locations travel the emotional trajectory of empathy, awareness and commitment, action and change. Currently, fabric remnants are used to make books, containers, and a few garments that connect to a bigger story, My Gamma Waves.

100 TEARS, 3 parts
100 Tears explores memory and universal sentimentalities, and the correlation between compassion, thought, and creation. The mediums of glass, a hard metal and a reflective surface are used to make a series of tears that address the different types of emotive states that are specific to the properties used; fragile, heavy and illuminant. Each series of tears are transformed in meaning and appearance by exposure to the elements.


WORLD RIVERS, many regions
The essence of our waterways are captured in white cloth that flows in rivers. World Rivers unite regions while the relic of curtains reveal the hidden; the condition of our water. Attention is given to our planet's rivers through stories that tell of waters contributing role in the growth of unique civilizations. World Rivers honors the vital life source that is in crisis today. World Rivers Project
