As an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersections of performance, sculpture, and site-specific practice, my work engages questions of place, identity, and environmental crisis. Grounded in my upbringing in rural Maine and expanded through Arctic fieldwork, my practice draws on personal narratives within a queer family to examine the dynamics between bodies, landscapes, and systems of care. My work explores conditions of fragility and resilience, tracing the interplay between vulnerability and strength, memory and erasure, and crisis and renewal.
Site specificity functions as both method and framework. Through sustained, research-driven engagement with particular environments, from glacial terrains to freshwater ecologies in Maine, I employ embodied, site-responsive actions and material transformation as forms of inquiry. I situate my role as a citizen scientist within collaborative exchanges with glaciologists, ice core researchers, and anthropologists, positioning artistic practice as a parallel epistemological modality.
Here, art works alongside scientific research to interpret, translate, and affectively register the temporal and material complexities of climate change. Informed by a background in conservation and a commitment to socially engaged practice, my work positions art as a form of critical intervention, an act of care and resistance that fosters interdisciplinary dialogue while advancing more just and sustainable futures.
