Time has been the central concern in my practice. In the beginning of my artistic career, I focused on documenting the passage of time through making objects in repetitive motions. In 2016 my interest in natural history museums led me to incorporate rocks and minerals in my art. Consequently this progression steered my practice towards investigating geology and deep time. And now my artwork has evolved and the choices made during art-making process are heavily influenced by the natural surroundings specifically the local geology. I am interested in learning about the natural processes that create the landscape. This is directly related to the scale of geological time, especially in its relative status to human time - for example the time and scale geological processes take to form a mineral relative to the time and scale individual human processes take to document it.
