I am driven by the idea that the web of life is an inter-connected system. From molecules to atoms everything is structurally made of the same “stuff”. I construct forms that are comprised of multiple interdependent parts.

I extend the physical boundary of objects to show that what we see is not fixed. In fact the eye offers us a perspective that is both incomplete and subjective. From a distance some of my work looks solid while some disappears. Up close, however, the grid structure and “molecules” are see-through and multi-layered. My imagination wants to see the molecules that make up forms. Of course this is impossible and so my desire drives my indulgence to create what I cannot see.
