Field notes

The homepage organizes the practice as a compact exhibition, moving from an origin statement to selected objects, macro details, and nine titled films. Works such as Ode, Auspices, and TC Subtraction are described as mixed media on animal bone, with fractures, hollows, and weathered edges retained as part of the composition. The page also identifies paint, pencil, pen, marker, and metallic detail as working materials, while directing collectors and galleries to email for inquiries.
