Partnership Practices
I include worms, wheatgrass, and vultures in my studio to explore relational ways of thinking, being, and generating form. Sometimes I make work about these subjects, like in the large scale graphite drawings (n.) or the porcelain vulture committee, and sometimes I make work with the living partners as in the large scale worms drawing (v.) or the vermiforms installations with worms, soil, plants, and juice. Working with plants and worms helps me think about cycles of growth and decay, material processes that are additive, subtractive, generative and circular.
As an artist I am searching for formal languages issuing from the rich overlap of our distinct creative worlds while exploring a place in these cycles trying to understand shared work, reciprocity, roots and circular systems.
