Topographies
Examining the topography of the natural world, this body of work reflects on the nature of time and the growth and erosion of the earth in a constant state of flux. I am interested in the metamorphosis of these changing states, where weather and natural phenomena can reveal layers of history embedded within material, and even the hardest of surfaces can be etched and worn with the passing of time.
