This painting comes from my fascination with the life beneath our feet. What we think of simply as ground is constantly changing—breaking down, accumulating and becoming fertile again. I am drawn to that hidden cycle of decay and renewal, and to the thought that even the smallest handful of soil contains an entire living world.
