- Statement:
- As a photo-based artist working on the environmental tragedies of contaminated water and climate resilience, I am at the intersection of photography and painting - I paint on light-sensitive paper and I use infrared light in my practice. Experiencing a beam of light, water, and nature in the same way a painter would experience a brush and pigment is a truly transcendent experience. I have recently worked on projects dealing with water contamination, NY harbor's resiliency, climate, and biodiversity through interaction with nature. Environmental justice has been an underlying theme in her recent projects “Ode to Gowanus” and “Radiating Heat” (images of Prospect Park) where she created unique local imprints of the environment.
