My art practice exists alongside my work in soil science, but it is not separate from it. Through Temporarily Not Soil, I explore material, process, and transformation in ways that echo the questions I ask in my scientific work. I am drawn to the in-between spaces—where things are becoming, breaking down, or reforming—and I use art as a way to observe and express those transitions without needing to resolve them.

This work is intuitive and evolving. It allows me to engage with texture, color, and form in a way that is less constrained than scientific inquiry, while still grounded in curiosity and attention. The pieces are often reflections on change, impermanence, and relationship to place, offering another way of understanding the systems I study and live within.
