Artist Statement 

My hopes for the community are grounded in the belief that art can inspire positive change and foster a deeper connection to our environment. Through my project, _Eroded Origins: Liminal Illusions Amidst Climate Transformation, I aim to illuminate the importance of forest stewardship in British Columbia and beyond. These works serve as a visual testament to the delicate balance between nature and humanity.

In witnessing these environmental portals emerging in Gaia, I hope to spark awareness about the imminent climate crisis. These iridescent thresholds, whether seen as vibrational apparitions or metaphorical illusions, act as signposts pointing to the urgency of our environmental responsibilities.

As a Climate Artist, I aspire to engage all stakeholders in dynamic discussions about environmental stewardship and global conservation. By representing the physical, emotional, and symbolic openings within liminal spaces in our natural world, I aim to inspire a sense of responsibility and connection to our environment.

Living and working in the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Dakelh (Cariboo), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations in Vancouver, I hope my work serves as a bridge between different cultures and perspectives, promoting mutual respect and collaboration in the spirit of environmental preservation.

_Eroded Origins: Liminal Illusions Amidst Climate Transformation aims to be a catalyst for positive change, encouraging our community to take meaningful actions toward a sustainable and harmonious coexistence with nature. It symbolically illuminates environmental portals through the interplay of light and shadows, signifying the impending climate crisis and nurturing an emotional connection to the natural world. We pose the brainstorm art game questions:

1. If the forest could communicate, what would it say?… Speak for me!
2. What is your age (Patron)?
