Statement
My artwork evolved from a purely physical form of painting, to working with digital art, animation, and post-digital. An art form conceptually shaped by the internet and digital processes, but insisting on bringing humanity and materiality to them. Thoughts and ideas flow from a time scale that includes my ancestors, current events, ideas found in nature, historical documents, world travel and scientific publications.

A series depicting a changing reality intersected by art, technology, and humanity. The themes include source, space, association and deliberation. Images displaying harmonious colors, geometries mixed with dissonant elements of our changing humanity.
