In search of geological decay, I seek out processes that depict decomposition and erosion, such as cave formations highlighting stalagmites, as well as remnants of sedimentary stratification, such as algae formulating on rocks, to reflect the abandonment and progression within a landscape.

Installations that include hot sculpting glass, carving plaster, and exploring nontraditional media are processes on how I create in today’s multi-modal art world. Additionally, I have started using bronze castings to further explore material identity, by creating decay and fragility, with robust materials. I use remnants of light, multiples, texture, and hierarchy of scale to promote my artistic explanation of this concept.

I study erosion, specifically with caves, to better understand the peculiar concept of time, the growth from fallen calcite, and the fragility within colossal structures. Through time I have discovered my interest with decomposition and caves is not a popular field of interest for artists which allows my work to become distinguished. My installations invite the viewer to be submersed inside of forgotten and decomposing features of this world. 

Within the quietly unnoticed peculiar process of gradual decay, through time, perhaps the viewer then realizes that we too are gradually decaying and have a peculiar beauty within our own decay.
