Translating nature through patient observation.
My work explores the overlooked biodiversity of our immediate surroundings. By combining macro photography, botanical illustration, and hand-weaving, I aim to preserve the quiet beauty of neighborhood flora and the tactile essence of the natural world.
Slow Observation
Patiently documenting the overlooked biodiversity in neighborhood yards, capturing the quiet life of local flora through macro lenses.
Botanical Study
Translating field observations into detailed watercolor illustrations, focusing on the intricate structures of native backyard species.
Fiber Craft
Weaving the textures and colors of the local landscape into hand-loomed textiles, grounding digital art in physical, tactile form.
Achillea millefolium, Yard Verge
Neighborhood Flora · Study 01
A quiet study of biodiversity through lens, ink, and loom.
Our work bridges the gap between field observation and studio craft. We document the neighborhood's hidden life using archival tools designed to preserve the tactile beauty of the natural world.
Macro Field Optics
Precision focus on neighborhood flora
We utilize specialized macro lenses to document the overlooked biodiversity in our yards. By capturing rain on yarrow or lichen on granite, we reveal the intricate, hidden structures of our local ecosystem.
Botanical Illustration
Archival ink and watercolor studies
Our studio process combines iron gall ink with cold-press cotton paper. Each illustration is a patient study of form, capturing the delicate venation and seasonal shifts of our neighborhood specimens.
Hand-Loomed Textiles
Natural wool and organic dyes
We weave raw sheep's wool into functional art. Using traditional loom techniques, we create textures that mirror the organic patterns found in the wild meadows and forest edges surrounding our home.
