With an almost neurotic curiosity about the world, fact-finding and Wikipedia click holes entertain me as much as anything. Consequently, my artwork often centers on a captivating figure I’ve stumbled across and expands outward to incorporate more complicated materials and sometimes misunderstood subject matter that lies beyond everyday familiarity. Things like radiation, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, germs, GMOs, and even narcotics are all fascinating yet unnerving. While often considered outright dangerous, I present these technologies as complex tools—able to accomplish both evil and good with the right oversight and regulation.

 

Elegant and striking visuals in my work function as an icebreaker for deeper engagement with these topics. I utilize sleek, modern, and post-minimalistic materials, often employing repetition and symmetry in my hybridized works in addition to strategic flashes of supersaturation. These can manifest as either sculpture or painting, in which pigment and binder chemistry is of particular importance.
