my works comes from both a place of excitement and fear for the future. this fear is also combined with a curiosity that drives me to use the very tools i am afraid of. i believe creatively pushing materials and tools are a way to reveal the structures that allow them to operate. this stems from my experiences in carpentry, a place where every item and space is completely shaped by the grain of the wood. fabricating an object from a basic block is still a fascinating experience to me. being able to fully understand the capabilities of wood, gave me the knowledge to think of a world in wood, and I approach working with other materials the same way. experimenting and failing continue to be the most important part of my process.

my practice has evolved into a combination of a generative process with a sculptural output. i am drawn to the way technology mirrors or distorts organic processes, such as growth, memory, and decay. working with generative art allows me to explore randomness, chance, and the limits of control. bringing the logic of code into the physical world allows me to visualize the impact technology has on the brain and the greater society. my aim is to situate viewers in a space where they can question the systems they are a part of from a new or unfamiliar perspective, and in doing so, question them.
