Work done during the pandemic (2020-2021). The feeling of the ground crumbling beneath your feet, the uncertainty, and the desire to heal. These works portray rockfall/fissure/breakage and an urge to make whole/mend/pull back together again.

This series is a companion to the drought works on paper. In both, I am thinking about how to make physical a sense of dehydration in a warming planet. The sculptural pieces here were inspired by observing the drying process of the leaves of the Cercropia tree in Costa Rica. These leaves are dark green, circular and lobed, over a foot in diameter. When they fall, within 24hrs, they become silver grey and dark brown shell-like ruffled forms as small as 4 inches in length. This transformation from the absence of water led me to think about how other forms could be effected and resulted in this series of work.
