In the spirit of early botanist-artists, I collect, press and compose these natural specimens to evoke organic and cosmic geometries. Integrating my body's prints and hair into the rolled up plates, I embrace what binds humans to nature, cultivated to wild. The Garden Monotypes were begun in the Winter 2024, while collecting plant
life for the Parrish Road Show at Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton, NY. These works record the changing seasons with moments of bloom, growth and decay.
