TEN THOUSAND TONS ON MY HEAD

Ten Thousand Tons on My Head is an ongoing and expanding series of landslide studies. The project came to mind in 2018, when the ground started to shift under my feet—a feeling that has only intensified in the years since. The paintings began to take shape during a year of living in a remote town in the Los Padres National Forest while pregnant, surrounded by the shifting California landscape and the disorienting experience of navigating wildfire detours along the 5.
