River Relations
This project examines relationships among hydro-electric dams and their surrounding environments. Focusing on the Columbia River dams in Washington and British Columbia, a central theme is the challenge to comprehend how human constructions can affect the character and ecology of the natural landscapes over time. Presented images were done in collaboration with photographer John Holmgren, and the work is part of an 8-person project called River Relations.

Layered Landscapes – Drawings
Formed from sketches and memories of places visited and lived in, these fictional landscapes are based a mixing of specific experiences and on-location sketches. Using drawing as a means to re-imagine and mash-up imagery, mixing of cultural observations with geographic depictions, this project examines evolving transitions of place in both reality and memory.

Layered Landscapes – Prints
Part of the same series as the above project, print media processes are used to layer together imagery and to build up histories of mark-making and removal that allow places to develop and emerge through the process.
