Tides

Constructed from fragments of derelict boats and inspired by the Puget Sound, these sculptural works recontextualize marine debris through both form and image. Ranging from minimalist structures to pieces that incorporate photographs of the Sound, this series turns discarded material into sites of contemplation that invite reflection on environmental responsibility, memory, and the delicate beauty of our waterways.

Here We Meet

In this series, I seek to reframe remnants as works of contemporary minimalism and abstraction to express my appreciation for formal simplicity interwined with my reflections on consumption, material culture, and the quiet elegance that can emerge from waste.

These compositions are made from discarded materials gathered through my daily routine – sometimes parts of the same object, other times fragments entirely unrelated. Each piece represents a new relationship formed through my arrangement. Sometimes their inherent color serves as the guiding source for composition; other times, I add color to emphasize form or texture.

Always Safe Here

The shoreline has long been a place of contemplation, where horizon and tide invite reflection and stillness. My visits to parks along the Puget Sound have become acts of quiet return, experiences steeped in humility and nostalgia. Across the water’s edge, I notice people—some alone, some swimming, some wrapped in each other’s arms. Their gestures vary, yet each reflects something of myself: moments of longing, presence, and surrender to the vastness around us. Through them, I’m reminded of how small and connected we are.
