"In Map of Variations," writes the artist, "I use satellite imagery of tidal patterns to map shifting boundaries revealed by rising sea levels. Walking the Northern California coastline year-round, I experience the push and pull of tides, light, and the increasing force of winter king tides. Each ceramic chain installation—composed of hundreds of hand-formed and pigmented links—speaks to both the strength and interdependence of communities, and to the shared path we will inevitably walk as the coastline continues to transform."

"Throughout history, humans have sought meaning in nature by recognizing and mimicking patterns. My practice continues this impulse: by layering color, pattern, and form, I create works in conversation with the intertwined visual languages of our built and natural environments."
