Statement

My work explores the interplay between death and desire, examining how societal suppression of grief and denial of mortality disconnect us from the natural world. Cyanotype, natural dyes, hand-stitching, and foraged materials are integral to my process, with many of my pieces developed outdoors. The landscape itself becomes both medium and collaborator, as the sun, wind, water, and earth make their marks–intentionally or not. I invite reflection on impermanence, loss, and our place within an ecological and emotional whole.

GlogauAIR Project

Western culture’s pursuit of permanence—whether in art, memory, or environmental control—stands in contrast to natural cycles of impermanence and decay. This project expands my sustainable, site-specific practice near the sea as I explore materials derived from foraged algae to create works that embrace impermanence and reflect on grief, mortality, and ecological interconnection.
