My work is an intuitive response to the landscape and the environment. By placing myself within the natural world away from technology with limited tools there is the opportunity to hear not only myself but the heartbeat of nature itself. The work then becomes a collaboration with nature where creative methods and natural boundaries are intertwined. My fear is that future generations will not have the opportunity to access this space and place.
