Ravishing Ravages: inTOXICating mutants from the new world wilds (2D)

I began this series during my residency at the Ragdale Foundation, where my research focused on Illinois wildlife.

Valuing nature’s imperfection, my attempts to mimic it are deliberately crude. I prefer the micro-centricity of a thousand marks to a single, sweeping brushstroke. Thus, I use labor-intensive practices to build form and embellish surfaces. I liken the painstaking handiwork of my craft to the obsessive, teaming growth of the woodland, or the microcosm in a single egret’s feather.
