My work deals in issues of place and the connection between human and non-human nature through an examination of memory, myth, and both personal and imagined histories. I have become increasingly fascinated and horrified at the growing role that wildfire exerts on the landscapes of the American west, both as an artist, and (especially) as someone who calls these lands home. What are the stories we tell ourselves about fire, and our relationship to it? Through the translation of images of human-caused and natural destructive events, I hope to complicate that story, and its role in shaping our lives and the land we live on.
