Naturally Curious

This collection is the result of a deep, inquisitive dialogue with the environment, driven by a commitment to sustainable "mark-making." By transforming excess garden produce into handmade fruit and vegetable papyrus and utilizing the alchemy of ecoprinting, the artist creates a literal organic canvas—one where the earth provides both the surface and the pigment.

These botanical foundations are layered with intricate hand-embroidery and a cabinet of curiosities: found nests, insects, snake sheds, and feathers. Each piece is a collaborative effort with the cycle of life, where discarded fragments of the natural world are elevated into sacred objects. Without harm to any creature, this series explores the intersection of traditional craft and radical sustainability, asking the viewer to find wonder in the ephemeral and the "excess" of the world around us.
