Landscape and nature has played a vital role in who I am and what my artwork speaks to. The archive shows several bodies of work that investigates these two focuses in several different ways. Early on I was interested in finding relationships between the physical shape of the human body and the landscape (land-body series). As my work progressed I began making large scale photo collages (gravel pits) that combined several different landscapes into one. At this point I was most interested in creating spaces that I wished I could be in. This was a way for me to create a landscape that did not exist but that held parts of places from travels and memory into the collage. They all represent my personal pursuit of finding my place in a world that is constantly changing.
