Restructured Memories
I have been building model-sized constructions to recreate and mix past memories and experiences. The fragmented, pieced-together landscape that emerges is then used as a reference for large-scale, realistic drawings and small-scale, intimate photo works, and these in turn are used as reference to influence future 3D works. To be exhibited together, these works form relationships and narratives about place that blur lines between memories and new realities, what is factual and what is invented.

Columbia River Dams
This project, still in development, examines relationships among hydro-electric dams and their surrounding environments. Focusing on the Columbia River dams in Washington and British Columbia, a central theme is the challenge to comprehend how human constructions can affect the character and ecology of the natural landscapes over time. Presented images were done in collaboration with photographer John Holmgren.

Layered Landscapes – Drawings
Formed from sketches and memories of places visited and lived in, these fictional landscapes are based a mixing of specific experiences and on-location sketches. Using drawing as a means to re-imagine and mash-up imagery, mixing of cultural observations with geographic depictions, this project examines evolving transitions of place in both reality and memory.

Layered Landscapes – Prints
Part of the same series as the above project, print media processes are used to layer together imagery and to build up histories of mark-making and removal that allow places to develop and emerge through the process.

Doorways
This animated video and related works follow man-made constructions and processes of nature as the scenes flow through various depictions of place. Moving through imagery derived from drawings and photos taken on location, the video is a scrolling journey through an evolving, imagined space.
