My work is an exploration of human attempts to control an uncontrollable world. Using the visual vocabulary of weather and meteorology, I create multilayered three-dimensional relief work and dramatic wall installations. My process begins with creating weather textures using sand, water, or ice and screen printing them onto painted paper and other surfaces. I then react to the resulting shapes by cutting and building around the precipitation, snowflakes, and other phenomena that I study. Just as meteorologists attempt to predict the weather, humans hopelessly attempt to forecast the joy and sorrow in their own lives. Each work becomes a meditation for the many things that are out of our hands but that we try so desperately to control.
