Artist Statement

My work is a practice in the imperfection of knowing, feeling, remembering, and understanding. It examines marine systems in constant motion, the situated knowledge-making that makes those systems legible, and the environmental values that make them meaningful.

This practice of mine is a call to deepen curiosity. I also use this method to ask questions about complex concepts in a convoluted world.

The images aren’t always the correct shape, size, or color. They are rushed, messy even. But that is what the world feels like and what this work is meant to express. It isn’t all good, but it isn’t all bad either. It isn’t refined or clever. But not everything can be.

My work doesn't represent how oceans are seen in real-time—but how they are remembered. Expertly informed but humanly misconstrued.

Incorrect and not to scale.
