- Artist Statement
- Approach
- My art attempts to visualize the invisible aspects of modern life.
- My art gives forms to the often overlooked or unnoticed aspects of modern technology.
- I often do this by making these overlooked or unnoticed things plainly visible, often by making them appear larger are more available conceptually to the viewer.
- My art asks the viewer to reconsider how they interact with digital devices and systems.

- Concepts/Questions
- We must scrutinize everything we look at.
- Has digital media changed the ways in which we see?
- What is the role of the audience as technology becomes so entwined with the real world?
- We must re-sensitize our minds to the images we are presented with.
- Digital media has created an environment wherein we do not comprehend or fully digest the images we are shown. How can I make art that encourages the viewer to look at digital images more critically?
- Technology presents illusions. We must understand how these illusions operate to fully be aware of how the world around us is functioning.
- Is the digital world collapsing into the real world?
