My work relies strongly on my interest in basic physical phenomenon and the inherent qualities of different materials. Learning about light, gravity, electricity, mass and atmosphere has triggered endless questions for which my experimentation and research seeks answers. Sometimes the answer manifests itself as an object or exhibition. Nonetheless, all of my exploration and investigation has broadened dramatically my understanding of the world and my relationship to it as an artist.
