Biography
I work abstractly at the juncture where sculpture, painting and printmaking intersect. The resulting pieces are hybrids. Inspired by algorithms, the process for my current series begins with recycled medical diagnostic film layered with monotypes. The film is then torn apart and the shards are reconnected into new configurations using thousands of staples. The visual aesthetic is at once high-tech and primordial. Serving as a marker of this time of transition, the materials speak to the recent evolution of information storage.
Striving for the elusive and the intangible, my work explores the boundaries between reality and that which is not yet known. It evokes a multitude of associations: aquatic life forms, otherworldly geological formations, surreal vegetation, scientific images of the miniscule, visions of the cosmos. The titles hint at the conceptual nuances embedded in the work. I am interested in humanity's collective search for meaning in the absurdity that is this life, and in the pleasure to be found in the various manifestations of that search.
