Artist statement
Romantics thought of landscapes as containers of the unknown. Through travel, I gain an understanding of the world around me, and to crystallize my experiences I am driven to create. I cut up the land and lay out the spaces I encounter. I aim to simplify the details, but complicate spaces through patterns. I use origami paper for its highly ordered patterns which create muddled instances of simultaneous contrast. These complex moments on the simply cut spaces are reflective of my experience in the world of the unknown.
