Watts Valley


This is my current project about the valley I grew up in. These projects focus on our human perception of death in the natural world and the ways we attempt to interrupt: road kill, roadside memorials, extreme empathy, and psychotic detachment.


Bunny, 2020. Chicken wire, faux fur, acrylic paint and spray paint. 







The Body is Not One Member, But Many. Now Are They Many, But of One Body, 2020. Tin foil, chicken wire, wood, candles, balloons, spray paint, and costume jewlery. 





Roadkill, 2020. Plastic owl and flesh body. 



I.A.V.S., 2020. Coyote #1. White spray paint and animal killed by car. 

The largest single wildfire in California history decimated a large swath of mine and these animals’ homes. They were forced down the mountain because of the fire, only to die at the hands of a motorist.
