Abstract
Threaded Vestiges is a comprehensive journey through my creative practice, focusing primarily on my works created since 2021. As a mixed media artist inspired by ecological systems and animal spirits, my creative research is situated between two realities. One is a pristine ecology teeming with protected biodiversity and the other is an ecology of loss, massive firestorms, and monocropping represented in the work by the white ghosts of the missing. Fragmented between two kinds of ecology, fields of color presented throughout this thesis ground my transformational process and speak to the loss of habitat and subsequent spirits of the wild.
