Sculptural Textiles
Giving form through “eye, hand and thought”
—Tapio Wirkkala
Weaving agency into the threads and wires of the warp and the weft in hand digital Jacquard weaving creates an undulating membrane. These textiles explore and incorporate the correspondences and contradictions of hard and soft medium - fishing wire and enameled copper combined with silk, silk and stainless steel, and Japanese paper yarns used in the weft, a melange of incongruous elements formed into a three dimensional reliefs by hand.

Video Sculpture
An essential aspect of my artwork is making things by hand, integrating hand construction with the electronic imagery of video.
I shoot all of my own video, recording experiences as I travel. The video sequences usually inspire an integration with a structural form, either an object already existing or a sculptural form that I create.
The juxtaposition of the form and the visual imagery transforms them into a new experience.

About the Artist
My artwork creates an intuitive conduit between technology and nature, ... simultaneously injecting each into the other. I am constantly intrigued by the physical sensations of invisible yet palpable phenomena in the natural world, imaging these ephemeral, transient experiences, creating physical artworks from digital drawings to digital fiber and installations. Developing algorithms embodying mathematical descriptions of these phenomena in nature, translating them into code, creating artwork that materializes this data.
