Using organic forms and visual cues from nature, each piece is a distinct interpretation of our environment and the complex relationship to it. Materials used to create the pieces include “organic materials such as plants and natural fibers to reveal creative interactions with the earth’s resources; others rely on the man-made and industrial materials, highlighting the contrast between the modern world and the idealized vision of nature we inherently possess.”
