I explore the psychological complexity of decorative language in two and three-dimensional woodblock printmaking. I create multifaceted sculptures using a unique three-dimensional printing method in which print patterns are designed to repeat across folds and are sewn into complex geometric forms. In my two-dimensional prints, I push the limits of scale in monumental woodblocks that are hand-carved and hand-printed.

In my artwork, botanical representation mingles with principles of geometry, symmetry, and pattern. I abstract flora and fauna and recomposite these elements into patterns, symbols, and anthropomorphic guardians. In nature, patterned markings on prey ward off predators. These markings are opulent signals- warning of poison. I am inspired by the seemingly contradictory dynamic of attention-seeking and defense, and my work includes beguiling decoration as a protective element
