Artist Statement
Organic forms immersed in indeterminate space populate my work. The content is inspired by natural structures and processes yet is abstracted and dereferenced in a manner that evades direct identification. There are allusions to both microscopic and macroscopic spaces, blurring the line between the two, creating environments that are both familiar and mysterious. This invites the viewer to contemplate similarities of form across scale and encourages a connection to the broader universe.
About My Work
My work is realized through an intricate combination of analog and digital media. I find the relationships between the material and algorithmic processes compelling and enjoy the discovery aspect of creating compositions from the emergent forms. Through this approach I’m seeking an inherently personal sense of balance between cerebral and physical; logical and emotional; control and chaos; intention and chance.
