STATEMENT My work stems out of a curiosity regarding human created physical reality through design, architecture and technology. The manufacturing and invention of our surroundings has resulted in a complex environment of objects ranging widely in their purpose from pragmatically functional to completely whimsical. Our creations foster all ranges of emotion from joy and desire to jealousy and fear. Consumer culture, of which both art and design are integral, necessitates innovation, creativity, style, seduction and manipulation to propagate itself. My work engages conceptual issues of material creation through an abstract visual language of implied functionality.
I utilize a wide variety of processes and tools to create my work including traditional painting technique, the airbrush, the laser cutter, and computer aided design (CAD). |
