My projects grow out of a range of interests – most often the sciences (astronomy, physics, biology, geology), philosophy, poetry, psychoanalytical perspectives, the natural world, and ethics-based social justice issues. An enduring motivation in all my projects is the desire to metabolize experience and come to terms with the complex realities of being human. Each artwork layers subjective, personal, and emotional reckonings alongside conceptual and aesthetic interests. For me art is an embodied, ritualized way to think, observe, ground, and connect. By interweaving objective versus subjective content and universal versus private impulses I try to make sense of the world and our fragile place in it.

It happened one day, at a crossroads, in the middle of a crowd, people coming and going. I stopped, blinked: suddenly I understood nothing. Nothing, nothing about anything: I did not understand the reasons for things or for people.
. . .even now, every time (and it is often) that I find I do not understand something, then, instinctively, I am filled with the hope that perhaps this will be my moment again, perhaps once again I shall understand nothing, I shall grasp the other knowledge, found and lost in an instant.
-Italo Calvino, The Flash
