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.

Collections : Fir Cone collected in my backyard for charoaling ink experimentation. Blue Willow Pottery collected for its historical, aesthetic qualities and alternative possible functions.
My backyard fir cones are turning out to be one of the best, darkest and finest materials to play with. The sheer intact beauty of the carbon left behind after charring, is extraordinary. And the fine powder left after processing is also beautiful to work with.
