I am an artist, writer, carpenter and arts organizer currently based outside of the small town of Alvin, TX. My practice investigates my itinerant state as it relates to land ecology, and is informed by and intertwined with my work as a carpenter and gardener. The intersection between construction, land(scape), utility, and people’s desire to both care for and control their spaces is the result of growing up in my family’s hardware store and garden center. Gardens may be more permanent constructions than homes - both are architecture. I seek new relationships between built and natural environments; each site is encountered slowly and quietly, in all its complexity, in order to create work that is in conversation with its place.
