ARTIST STATEMENT:
My art focuses on the process of making art and the creation of human life. This process is represented through internal and external forces that we as humans deal with throughout our entire life. I create images that progress, grow and change in recognizable ways and take on new and imaginative perspectives, the works evolve into their own existence and often take on figurative representations. Addressing the philosophical and metaphysical analogies of certain scientific disciplines, the works are heavily influenced by geoscience models and cellular biology. Many works often speak to the constant physical changes of the earth, bioethical issues and genetic mapping.
As one begins to look closely at my work, a connection emerges between global and human mapping. Utilizing software and scientific models as metaphors for place and memory, the images seek to interpret, represent and reflect psychological and biological states and processes, and their breakdown.
