Teacher Research

What began as a problem of practice has developed into an inquiry-driven process of creating a zero-waste learning space. I wondered, as a college educator, where students lose the excitement of risk in the creative process. working with students, staff, and education leaders in a public elementary school, the concept is evolving. embodying the practice of risk-taking the classroom becomes an ecosystem where we endure the process of navigating barriers and needs by accepting variability as a community asset. we are working to eliminate or repurpose wasted materials, time, energy, and human potential.

I am my own constellation. Design is the telescoping ladder that I keep in my apron.

​

As an interdisciplinary eco-artist, I am committed to challenging viewers to confront the impact of human actions on our natural environment. My work inspires social consciousness and sparks memories related to the act of disposal by transforming discarded materials into powerful public works of art. 


My practice is built upon three key methods: interactive fieldwork, arts-based research, and appropriation of industrial processes on a human scale. I use walking and a paddleboard to collect physical artifacts from locations to create site-specific mobile studios and perform acts of maintenance in the spaces where the materials were retrieved. Circularity is a central theme, where I become the mechanism for recycling and repurposing waste as a primary medium to drive the conversation around sustainable practices and the personal protection of our ecosystems.
