My current work is based upon concepts that investigate psychological disorders. Literary sources such as The Yellow Wallpaper, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and The Insanity of Mary Gerard, written by Laniey Robertson, as well as an interest in those who live with disorders and how they are perceived, are driving forces in my studies. 

 
Merging architectural elements with my process, I attempt to visually capture and understand the disorder(s) that are specific in their effects and manifestations of each person.

A second vein of work highlights my thinking and processes to concepts which relate the human body to landscape through interconnected aspects such as disorders, growth and healing. I attempt to visually capture figurative qualities, often seen as unnatural or unwelcome, that result from time or self infliction. Understanding and acceptance of these qualities can happen through the comparison to our surrounding landscape.

Through two-dimensional materials and processes I illustrate numerous perceptions of the physical and psychological body.
