I’m a mixed media maker using kinetic mechanical gestures to explore the science and culture of magnetic fields to generate poetic visual metaphor. I like to use a variety of materials to make three dimensional constructions which have moving parts that explore connections and disconnections with the earth, and by default, my fractured relationship with it. The works have a foundation in science where complex ideas try to manifest as visual poetry.

Focus:
visual metaphor
Planet B
The Politician
Fields of Influence
Lark Descending
Going Cuckoo
the tempest prognosticator
Brain Melt: The Wave Function Collapse
The Jelly Scratch
