My MFA Visual Arts Thesis Exhibition titled Ecotones examines the Boise River Greenbelt using microscopy, documentation and recording processes. The Boise River Greenbelt is a recreational trail located in Boise, Idaho which is known for scientific inquiry, community activity, and ecological restoration. Ecotones examines the intersection of restoration and recreation by merging art and ecology through several interdisciplinary works titled Leave no Trace, Micro, Synanthrope, Symbiosis, and Trail. This exhibition was on display in the Neri Gallery at Boise State University in Spring 2023.

Leave no Trace, Found objects/detritus displayed using specimen pins.

Micro, A collection of nine framed microscopic prints of found nonorganic objects/detritus.

Synanthrope, Four minute projected video piece(on right) and video still.

Symbiosis, Three minute projected video piece, captured through the lens of a microscope.

Trail, Sculpture made of second-hand recreational items, fishing line, and projected video.
