I believe that my scientific background, combined with an artist’s sensibility, has given me a unique perspective on the world. I like to think of my work as the result of some visual experiment, the findings of which are not fully revealed until completion. The images created are hyper-detailed and highly structured, some with deliberately skewed spatial relationships. And as for those truths that science has yet to discover, I enjoy blurring the distinctions among plants, animals, and inanimate objects to create hybrids that may look familiar, yet exist only in some alternate universe.
