Artist's Statement

I see systems shaping our experiences in fluid and dynamic ways, both on a biological and technological level, and I am fascinated by the ways systems organize individual parts into a whole and generate structure. Inspired by the life and physical sciences and recent developments in technology, I investigate intersections of nature and technology, and the interdependent systems that underlie and connect them.
