When I left my first design job after college, my senior art director told me, “You started very green here, and you’ve grown a lot in the last two and a half years.”

I took it as a compliment. I still do. But over time, I’ve come to appreciate another meaning of green: curiosity, openness, and the willingness to not know.

Field Notes 1 began as a small sculptural maquette of a horse’s head, made from burlap and repurposed paint. Its rough texture, layered color, and imperfect edges reflect my interest in materials that carry traces of their past while remaining open to transformation.

The horse suggests my relationship with the natural world, one rooted in observation, endurance, and discovery. This small-scale work also points toward the possibility of a larger installation.

Part of my latest exhibition, OVERLOOK, this sculpture reflects my desire to stay green: to keep asking questions, take creative risks, and remain open to what I might discover next.

Experience matters. So does remembering to look closely at what has been there all along.
