In my current body of work, titled "Invented Hybrids", I create variations and combinations of flora, fauna and fungal species. This series grew out of my interest in invasive species, concerns about climate change and a penchant for reading eco fiction. Through a process of research, drawing, abstracting and embellishing, I develop forms that combine species and kingdoms in a variety of media, including drawing, fiber sculpture and fused glass. The Invented Hybrids represent an alternative future in which species have merged to create new life forms, an adaptation required by the changing conditions of our planet. They defy identification and ask the viewer to consider their origins and the circumstances in which they developed.
