Sio Art

Through my work I have developed a framework to engage with the complex subject of the human relationship with nature. My process is intuitive, personal, and centered on story creation. The stories attempt to connect local history and myth to material production. My work questions what kind of future we are creating by closely examining the relationship between nature and the built environment. I am particularly interested in exploring a future where we need to rely on technological analogs (like Mechanical Trees) to support or replace ecosystem services. This is inspired by the technocentric aspect of our current culture. The stories I tell, unify a range of art responses that encourage reflection on humanity’s relationship to the environment.
