Artist statement:
I’m compelled by opposites: The contrast of flatness with the volumetric, fluidity with stillness, of science with the metaphysical. Another overarching theme in my work is slippage in scale—the supermassive to the intimate and hand held.

As a child I went on archaeological digs with my father. Tiny shards and arrowheads unfolded into detailed stories. Much of my artwork imagines phenomena both seen and unseen.

My photographs are cycles. My photographs are performances. My photographs are experiments. They start as drawings, then become temporary constructions that are photographed and become flat again. In an alchemical process of play and plan, matter might be carbon molecules or planets in eclipse, portals, or dissolving into sound waves.
