Growing up in rural and mountainous areas of the Northwest, my perspective has been colored by a deep connection to the natural world. Drawing from that connection, I create works that are in conversation with their environment, providing space for contemplation of Nature and the essential characteristics of a given place. For the past few years, my practice has been focused almost exclusively on large-scale outdoor installations.
This show provided me an opportunity to shift focus and study the themes of my work beneath an alternate lens: that of the pristine gallery setting. Within these walls, you will find a mix of visually linked artworks, installation and remnants, as well as re-envisioned materials and processes left over from past public works. Through methods of reflection and filtration, Outside-In explores new territories within my life and work, ultimately revealing what floats to the surface of that process.
