Love You More was made during the first summer of Covid after relocating to Vermont from New York City. Making art utilizing the outdoors felt like the only safe place I could claim which grounded me immensely. The fish and organic forms, developed by the sun popping in and out of mountains and clouds enjoy the freedom that I longed for.

I left my home in New York City permanently, though I didn’t know it then, on the first day of lockdown in March 2020. The Rhythm of the Ocean and the Sky was constructed out of the few art materials I happened to bring with me. I sat at a folding table that I claimed as my “studio,” looking outside, envious of nature and its separation from the pandemic.

I spend a lot of time in the woods seeing what nature has left behind. Of the Woods is a connection between woman and nature, plywood and bark. Moons of foraged birch bark, nature’s woodcut, are juxtaposed with handmade woodcuts on processed wood, culminating in a book existing both inside and outside.
