Through photography and experimental digital techniques, I develop imagined spaces that push perception using scale and substance —the microscopic and cosmic, the material, and the non-material.
Each series represents an ongoing dialogue with light. I am fascinated by how optical phenomena that typically go unnoticed can, when isolated and reframed, provide aesthetic experiences that connect scientific observation with emotional resonance. My process involves both chance operations and careful observation, allowing the inherent properties of materials and light to generate forms that feel both strange and familiar.
I embrace controlled randomness as a generative force. By manipulating photographic processes and documenting chemical reactions, I challenge notions of authorship to push ideas about an artist’s intentions and randomness.
My work draws from art movements such as Abstract Expressionism, the West Coast Light and Space Movement, Process Art, and Scientific Romanticism. The contemporary visual languages I create pay homage to these influences while responding to our current moment, characterized by rapidly evolving understandings of perception and reality.
Digital explorations concern the overlooked magic of everyday phenomena by examining randomness and intention, light and scale, the strange and familiar.
