Artist Statement

My art practice is contrapuntal to my career, I shift from the precision of digital systems to reveling in the unprecitability of hand crafstmanship. In this regard, materials are very important to me; I pay attention to the warping of twine, the refraction of plastic, or the resonance of different kinds of wood. I design systems that agregate a handcrafted unit into a larger sensory experience. As I am striving for the discipline to scale my individual movements into a system governed by its own logic.
