Drawn to notions of compassion and universality out of personal reflection and a contemplative attitude, I feel a sense of beauty in the face of the recognition of the world’s increasing complexity, our finiteness as beings and the vastness of the universe.

From observation of the concurrent beauty, ease, horror and difficulty that rise out of human endeavor and behavior (ever present in a globalized world), I recognize myself as an unintentionally dualistic functioning catalyst, within the infinitely complex system that is our existence. I then come to form conflicted suppositions based around the hopeful and yet dystopic idiosyncrasies of ourselves in our place relative to both each other and the larger universe.

I explore these reflections largely via electronic or installation oriented media in works that are the result of a conceptual process. The goal of my work is to instill a greater and more humble awareness of ourselves and the universe we occupy.

My work is inspired by a diverse group of individuals including Henry David Thoreau, Wassily Kandinsky, Carl Sagan, Godfrey Reggio, Julie Mehretu, Vija Celmins and Jonathan Borofsky.
