Artist Statement
Waves, clouds, wood grain, layers of rock. Patterns are evidence of
energy flow and the constant change that makes up the physical world.
I am inspired by nature’s variety, complexity, and impermanence.
In my work I use dynamic surface designs, optical effects and interactive
elements to draw the viewer into an intimate connection with material
movement and possibility. I hope to make objects that resonate subconsciously
and define a space for meditative pause— objects that can be sculptural
or solidly functional while simultaneously delighting one’s sense of
curiosity.
