Asking the Right Question

Always a central theme of my life both personally and professionally…the pursuit of an ability to accurately describe a question I am imagining and conjure effective solutions to it.

Scienceing This Shit

Intersections of science and art are dominant themes in much of my work.

Angle, Aspect, Attitude…and Zones of Discomfort

How we perceive and interact with the multiverse of which we are a part is a result of our relative positions, physiologies, exposures…decisions. For myself, how I now attempt to present through the apprehension of light our environment is a result of the collision of a lifelong pursuit of hard-core, scientific knowledge and a recent, abruptly informal but inexorable introduction to the true inner workings of the right hemisphere of my brain. Virtually devoid of a classical education but with manically obsessive ability to delve into subject matter combined with a meditative capacity to almost reign in my penchant for attention deficit I seek an ‘artful’ twist on virtually everything the retina is capable of gathering. Some times there is calm and joy in what we witness; in others there is excruciating tension and ache as a result of that which we deem cringeworthy but cannot avert our senses. I yearn to explore those extremes and everything in between; whether you lose yourself to wonder and beauty or to wonder and horror as a result of witnessing my work I have met with some modicum of success. To truly feel intrinsically accomplished I must conjure all of the above.
