Raisin Fingers

I am a sculptor that uses site reactive interactions, video documentation, and studio-based processes to explore landscape. I investigate my multifaceted relationship of self to my sensorial memory of landscape. Through themes of memory, loss and longing intertwined with my personal connection to water. I identify the intersections of sculpture and landscape seeking ways in which environments shapes decisions in the making process. Through case studies of two distinct landscapes, Malaki and Tyson, I look at how these environments serve as sources of inspiration and material for experimentation. By identifying the ways in which I researched at each site respectively I aim to unravel the complexities of my relationship to landscape. I examine how I translate my personal lens of landscapes with others. My practice is a dialogue with the natural world as I seek to capture and preserve the fleeting moments of lived experiences. Through contemplation of my own artistic meanderings, I contribute to the ongoing discourse of sculpture and contemporary art, offering insights in which landscapes shape our understanding of self in relationship to place.
