Description
Often drawing on a background and interest in engineering and music, my work is approached through a broad range of media. Inquiry is fundamental and observation, relation and comparison are methods – placing elements together, seeking similarity and conversation in unexpected places. The process is active and balances system and pattern with responsive improvisation and indeterminacy, leaving intent in flux. Questions are posed and rarely resolve in answer – the motivation simply to uncover the next site of inquiry and energize the process.
