Pins and Needles: Argo
Abstracted Landscape, Fall 2024
18" x 24"
Masa paper, ink
This landscape of trees at close range and at a distance surrounds water to convey the fluidity of life. It uses mark-making to represent the relationship between place and emotion. It also marks the origin of this display; it is the ancestor piece from which all the other pieces from fall 2024 and spring 2025 evolved.

Humming bird And The Great Fire
Abstracted landscape with birds, fall 2024
18" x 27"
Rives paper, ink
Inspired by the Anishannabe story, Hummingbird and The Great Fire, this triptych portrays the perspective of the hummingbird, whose constant rapid motion is interrupted only to tell the story, gather a drop of water, and release it on the fire.

Rives BFK, ink
Dancing Fibers
Abstract-scape, Winter 2024
Lino print
18" x 18"
Linoleum, Rives BFK, ink
Tendrils of hair swirl around the heads of dancers, weaving their extended bodies together, creating an image of energy reflected onto itself. Body as an abstract landscape uses matrix and substrate together creating one subject. The roots of my iconography as an artist extend into: hair as central, and pins and needles through the body–as landscape, the bodies are scape.
Glass Mother-Woman hood
Abstract-scape, Spring 2025
22" x 37"
Gampi paper, ink, wood, glue
Trees springing from Mother Earth create the background for the central image of the divided uterus. Integrated images of mostly masked bodies dance below the uterus, their tendrils connecting to the forest. I bring together various symbols and ritual synergy to “induce and infect people with pervasive and long lasting moods and motivations by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence.” -Geertz
