As an artist with a family history of Alzheimer’s, I am deeply interested in the concept of memory, specifically the way things are remembered. I see the landscape as medium for conveying human emotion and I find evidence of the past present in the landscape, or the way memory is preserved in the landscape, to be captivating. Largely I am interested in exploring what remains of the movement of the glaciers that carved the landscape thousands of years and finding human stories in overlooked aspects of the developed landscape. I have found that the sculptural quality of carved copper plates has an emotional character that I find similar to that I experience when observing the way glaciers carved the landscape. The brutal chemical burns and chaotic reactions found in etching remind me of weathered concrete and rust and I prefer to work in etching when making observations about development.
