With this project,  I will be exploring, working with, and accessing similarities, contradictions, ethics, specific material qualities, and family traditions. I will be experimenting with organic materials that can be composted and that can hold many forms, purposes, and functions. At the same time, I will be mitigating environmental degradation. By experimentally making charcoal with the remains of consumed foods – coffee, avocado pits and skins, and eggshells for example – I will search and play with the qualities of each substance to develop both mediums to work with and content for my artwork.

These days, I bicycle to work for a 7 am start at Cedar Isle Farm in eastern Fraser Valley. I am influenced by all around me. These days, my art references come from the ground, plants, birds and skies. And I take them all into the studio in the hot afternoons. Summer has its own rhythms, shapes and forms and we make our mark wherever we go and whatever we do.

Collaborations with a chain link fence, rocks and sunlight. These are some daily encounters that influence and drive my mark making.
