I post these images to look among them for through lines, patterns, influences. And to respond to the question, “What kind of art do you make exactly?”
Looks to me to be Life, Love, and Death in the Natural World in the company of Imaginary Friends and Making Something out of Nothing over and over and over.

Ashes to Ashes to Ashes, 2008
In the top image are individual containers and love-letter closers for a commission to design and make biodegradable, organic containers for the cremains of three beloved friends. On a road trip from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, their remains left “a trail of bread crumbs” along the way, as family history and love were caringly deposited in various scenic landscapes. The two images below are the project “kit” that includes nine pear-shaped receptacles, paper bag bundles and grapevine wish holders. All materials are biodegradable.
Mixed media: Papers (various), papier-mâché paste (organic whole wheat flour, sea salt, water), found steel washers, hemp twine, grapevines, pastel color, losta love. (The plastic jug that was for filling the containers and the cardboard mailing boxes were recycled.)
