My work explores environmental loss, the layered histories of American land, and mothering in the face of ecological collapse. Having relocated from New Orleans, one of the world’s fastest-disappearing landscapes, I am compelled to preserve what I hope remains while exposing the systems that have failed us.

In search of remedy, I collaborate with scientists, communities, and site-specific materials to uncover how natural relationships and histories have been altered and have survived through colonial disruption. Informed by emergent strategy, critical ecology, and reparative history, my practice centers on attention and relational practices where I am most often a learner, facilitator, and connector. I’m learning how to read other living beings —trees, microbes, water, clay—as primary sources that affirm the same histories being erased in American schools, histories we must collectively understand and repair to correct course.

My process results in paintings, photographs, social practice, videos, sculptures, and collages that highlight material affordances through fractal patterns—like white oak tree ink rooting through clay watercolor, crushed beach coal reanimating in seawater, or how centuries of a river’s flow is held in a tree. By shrinking geologic shifts to the size of myself, I’m trying to accept the inevitability and beauty of change while grappling with the world my children will live in without me. This reaction to love and fear underpins my work, resulting in a desperate archive of the overwhelming present.
