Statement:
Brody’s work as an artist thrives on the interaction with new communities and place-making. Where she explores what it means to establish roots within an unfamiliar environment by being present within a place to affect change. With each new location she conducts a careful investigative method that involves the gathering of regional materials, native plants, local stories, historic references, and architectural imagery. She employs a process of regenerating natural materials into handmade paper as a practice of illuminating the unobserved in day-to-day surroundings and the challenges facing the environment.
