natura manufactus

Natura Manufactus is a collection of multimedia installations and artworks reflecting on community and relationships through the personification of natural imagery and phenomena. Every piece consists of multiple iterations of similar shapes or forms that support one another visually and conceptually. These collections, communities, and patterns that form as the result of repetitive mark making and sculpting are influenced by the visual and emotional stimulation that can be found in nature; from the incredible structures of cells viewed through a microscope to the soft variations of petals on a flower. Through these examinations of the ethereality of biological and ecological imagery, each artwork explores the balance between the familiarity of natural forms with the curiosity of their alteration and stylization.
