about me
see my CV
My creative urges stem from a childhood in the woods. In Washington County, New York, new growth forests have retaken agricultural farmland. In my neighborhood outside Kyoto, Japan, ancient bamboo groves have been pushed back by condominiums.
Across these rural and post-industrial stages, what provokes an audience toward ecological responsibility? My work explores participatory, resourceful, and conservational approaches to join our environment. Entering our inherited habitats, creative gestures can support neglected non-human publics: serving the plants and animals who experience the “art” (human alteration) at a different timescale.
My environmental interventions present site-specific botanic stewardship as sensory installations tangibly demonstrating the adaptive reuse of overlooked growth and waste. The tools of theatrical worldbuilding can situate spectators as active participants in sculpted social environments. I will continue organizing communal gatherings and live performances to share nurturing remediation, healing and play, learned from land around the world.
