about
I am a multidisciplinary artist working in ecological sculpture and theatrical design.
I grew up between the woods of upstate New York and Kansai, Japan. In Washington County NY, new growth forests have retaken agricultural farmland. In my neighborhood outside Kyoto, ancient bamboo groves are constatly pushed back by condominiums.
Across rural environments on the fringes of economic “progress,” I seek to propel my audience toward ecological responsibility. Plants and animals experience human alterations, including art, on their own timescales. The tools of theatrical worldbuilding situate spectators as active participants in their surroundings. Active communion in the landscape casts us all as stewards. Through sensory sculptures and live performance, I demonstrate how overlooked growth and waste can be adapted and reused.
As I learn and perform remediation, I demonstrate ways to initiate acts of social and environmental change. The new land art is non-extractive, playful, and supports the neglected habitats of our ecological inheritance. Let’s meet, heal, and play together.
See you somewhere!
