Fascinated by the intrinsic order and beauty of nature, my work attempts to capture and abstract its character in a manner that is uncanny, yet familiar. With an aimed curiosity toward the interplay of conceptual and biological forces, my work probes the amphibious network linking logic, intuition, consciousness, and emotion. Through this perspective, we are encouraged to draw upon our own experience as a means of dilating the border between real and imaginary. Moreover, we are encouraged to explore how the shape of our experience informs perception, and how our perceptions are most commonly colored by what we’ve learned to recognize. Within this aesthetic, I invite spectators to enter a space where exploration and mindful observation of one’s inner landscape is rewarded with a sense of discovery and personal attunement.
“We may take it that the world is undoubtedly itself [i.e., is indistinct from itself], but, in any attempt to see itself, as an object, it must, equally, undoubtedly act so as to make itself distinct from and therefore false to itself.
In this sense, in respect to its own information, the universe must expand to escape the telescopes through which we, who are it, are trying to capture it, which is us.”
