Totems

My totem series is an exploration of rhythm, connection, and storytelling—each piece standing as a visual marker of time, transformation, and personal history. Inspired by the natural world and the unseen forces that shape our lives, these vertical compositions are layered with meaning, texture, and intentional materials.

​​

Every element in a totem is chosen with purpose. The foundation of each totem is a custom birch wood panel, chosen for its strength and its connection to nature. These beautiful panels symbolize the towering trees found on my favorite hikes. Acrylic paint, hand-painted papers, gold leaf, and brass create depth and luminosity, while embedded symbols—such as spectrograms of birdsongs from my morning walks, chemistry formulas, and mono prints of local grasses and leaves—add layers of hidden narrative. 

​

Each totem carries its own rhythm, balancing the structured with the organic, the seen with the unseen. Some stand bold and defined, while others dissolve into their surroundings, mirroring the way we navigate memory, experience, and change.

 

New totems will be available soon. In the meantime, you can explore past works under Sold Artwork in the Gallery tab.
