ARTIST STATEMENT
My work as an interdisciplinary artist and designer allows me the ability to collaborate with artists, designers, film makers, musicians, architects, and engineers.
Light, time, perception, and memory are reoccurring themes running throughout my work. We move through space and time seemingly seamless but what are our memories? What is our vision? Fracture, composite interpolated bits reconfigured into a rendition of what we choose to accept as reality. We see the continuous beach rather than the individual grains of sand.
To see it all as one, all at once
To live all the entanglements
All the waveforms
All realities at the same time
All possible pasts, presents, and futures collapsed as one expression
