Project Statement
Mother Nature is often an unseen force that affects us on a daily basis. However, why did we stop paying attention to it, let it slowly fall apart to the point it is screaming at us to help her? My work looks and pays attention to the things that surround us humans in nature that we take for granted. I take elements, such as fallen leaves and flowers, to create everlasting alternative prints that generations will be able to share when those elements are long gone in the wild. Through the use of blue and white cyanotypes and brown and white vandyke browns, the small and often overlooked, details of the environment. The landscape and nature portraits are aimed to show the elements, complex and delicate, that we are slowly destroying without paying a second mind to them. My images push people to think deeper about the place we all call home, Earth. Without the resources it gives us, we have no second option; my work urges people to speak up, make changes, and to stop turning a blind eye to what we are doing to our vibrant yet fragile planet.
