This series layers lichens with memories of landscapes.
The objective is to illustrate a balance between extremely slow forms of erosion and regrowth, and the volatile forces that re-shape the world and our perspectives of it instantaneously.

Methods of Dispersal and Establishment
Mount St. Helens / lichen flow.
Observations on Fragmentation and Loss
Made during a winter in the North Cascades.
Observations, continued
Years later I translated my small scale sketchbook drawing to a 4x4' panel of scrap wood from a house I lived in in Bow, WA-- a dreamy landscape in the corner of the US if ever there was one.
Divergent Fault
Aerial view of bigleaf maple twig, magnified 60x. Made during artist residency in North Cascades National Park.
Mining Claim
A lichened whorl on a barely-standing cabin on my mom's defunct mining claim outside of Helena, Montana.
Vapor Recollection in Cryptothecia rubrocincta
I ended up traversing the country a number of times, going back and forth between the Florida panhandle and the west coast. The cloud formations, neon lichens, and abandoned structures on both sides became conflated, drifted upward, crystallized and are still in the process of re-dispersal.
