Artist Statement:
Raised on a farm miles from
the nearest town with no one
my own age nearby, my
playmates were fields, ponds,
and my imagination. Later, my
education in architecture
exposed me to the connection
between math and beauty as
well as taught me how to
express a concept in many
forms. This has allowed the
otherworldly images in my head
to flesh out into a structured
world, something like a
scientific Alice in
Wonderland.
An example of this is Pod 01,
which I’ve adopted as a logo
of sorts. This creature
references the nautilus shell
and its relationship to the
golden section or spiral, a
proportion of simplicity and
infinity that is often
observed in nature and was
beloved by ancient Greek
architects.
Until recently, these
mathematical references have
been complemented by
straightforward techniques, a
restricted palette and have
been limited to
two-dimensions. The near
future will see my subject
matter take on a new life in
color and expand into more
narrative contexts. They will
also grow a third dimension as
I embark on sculpture and
installation projects in my
continuing effort to bring
this world to life....
