Refraction

“My work explores ideas related to space, mapping, motion, and light, inspired by current scientific inquiry in the fields of physics, astronomy, and biology.

I am passionate about digital media as a tool for visual artists. The dialog between my drawing, painting, print work, and digital media has been a rich source of inspiration. The moving images give me new ideas for the static ones, simultaneously recharging my imagination to develop the static images. I am committed to continuing the current conversation between traditional and digital media and eager to discover how animation will continue to influence my vision. My long-term goal is to work with an architect and a dancer to produce an interactive performance piece in an alternative venue.”
