STATEMENT

I augment original Fine Art, Installations, and Performances with New Media; with influences from Visionary, Surrealist, Psychedelic, Pixelated, and Optical Art. I combine intentional research with an openness to found words, sounds, forms, materials, and textures. I gather, select, photograph, generate, and manipulate planar and spatial imagery, then print, adhere, and otherwise map values, colors, and patterns onto fabrications and assemblages. My interactive installations and kinetic sculptures often include lights, motors, sensors, and controllers embedded in objects to produce both programmed and emergent out-comes. I receive inspirations from visions, concepts, interests, objects, and processes. I seek psychological, social, environmental, and spiritual clues to a unified source, which offer up models for integrating our experiences into.
