Geography, landscape, architecture, topography, and movement are all ways of understanding place. So are: emotional presence, light, color, mood, atmosphere, memory, imagination, and our personal definitions of home. Through sculpture and printmaking, my work explores the ways materiality, process, and the sensorial are tools for understanding our multifaceted relationships with place. From the personal exploration of defining and identifying home, to the collective understanding of nature-society relationships in the context of climate futures. My research is centered on material relationships, specifically between concrete and handmade invasive plant-based paper. Most recently, I have been pouring cement puddles on the floor of my studio. Once the cement puddle dries, its surface became solidified, still and set in the moment in time when the material accelerated its own process of drying. Unlike the paper, which is durable, strong and lasting, the cement pieces are fragile and brittle. My studio was strewn with cement shards and pieces, a crunching sound was audible under your feet as you walked across the floor. This work emphasizes the material relationships that speak to climate futures, and our human and more-than-human relationships. Landscape has agency in this process, creating memory while generating moments of potential connection, growth, and energy. The cement puddles make reference to place that obscures a sense of scale - seen as an aerial view on the scale of a land mass, or on the scale of drainage, by the side of the road. The paper cast takes an impression of the cement surface, and alters it in return. Rather than being a direct material transference, this relationship turns surface into ghost.
