I make pattern-based sculptures, large scale immersive installations, and public art. My process starts with researching the culture, history, and environment of a site or project. I take that source material and I process, deconstruct, and re-structure forms, focusing on metaphorical rather than literal interpretations of the references I uncover.

I address cultural identity, cross cultural exchange, and personal narratives through an interplay of surface pattern and structural form. There is a back-and-forth process of working with the physical forms and applying meaning and symbols I use for these themes. The ideas elicit the forms and vice versa.

My work is often modular to achieve scale and have reconfigurable elements to respond to different sites. When possible, I incorporate time-based sound and light elements for an immersive experience. Each project addresses new concepts leading to working with new materials and finding intersections of science, spirit, and art.

The primary medium I use in the studio is engineered panels using a scroll saw to cut patterns. This process translates well to the public art realm where scale, durability of material, and working with fabricators are primary. It allows me to design art beyond my studio abilities allowing me to conceptualize projects for more expansive possibilities.
