Contemporary Artist

Contemporary Artist

I am interested in the juxtaposition between our desire to reconnect with nature, our "want of the wild", and our "un-connection" to it. I investigate where man has manipulated nature for his needs, how it has been tamed and cultivated, but also where nature prevails and starts to reclaim a space. less
