Statement

I am an incredibly inquisitive dreamer with a deep love for discovery and exploration.  Having a formal education in biology, I conceptualize as a scientist and generate work through the creative filter of an artist.  Multisensory engagement has an immense impact on my interpretation of the world, resulting in the regular integration of sensational elements into my designs.  Texture, color, light, sound, temperature, scent, vestibular perception and proprioception play important roles individually or in concert, inviting participation with interactive pieces or immersion into encompassing environments. I greatly enjoy inventing optical illusions and embedding hidden elements tucked away for the most curious to find.  While much of my work is strikingly colorful, playful and lighthearted, I occasionally create visceral, destructive, monochromatic pieces, and I appreciate working on projects that promote dialog around current social or environmental issues.
