Based in Brooklyn, NY and Atlanta, GA
Through natural materials—stones, branches, river sediment, and fibers—I explore the deep
relationship between the earth, bodies, and time. Rooted in queer ecofeminist thought, my practice
reimagines craft and sculpture as a means of coexisting with nature rather than extracting from it. Each
piece is shaped through foraging, dyeing, weaving, sculpting, or quilting—slow, tactile techniques that
emphasize the importance of material cycles which revisits these traditional methods from an intuitive,
queer perspective. By gathering and repurposing materials directly from the landscape, I engage with the site not only as a source but as an active participant in the work. Natural pigments, sediments, and found
objects embed time and place, while textile processes become metaphors for interconnectedness, invoking
a bodily connection to the earth.
Tension and gravity play critical roles—fibers pull and stretch under the
weight of stones, delicate weavings resist collapse, and materials strain against forces holding them
together. These physical dynamics mirror the fragile, interwoven relationships between bodies,
ecosystems, and time. Queer theory and queer ecology shape my approach by challenging conventional
boundaries—between human and non-human, art and environment, permanence and impermanence. In
creating landscapes of care and entanglement, I reframe how we relate to our surroundings, fostering
reciprocity, generosity, and deep attention to nature.
