Artist's Statement
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.
