Artist Statement

Picture
Coming from a mathematics and programming background, I find works based on patterns, rules, or rhythms beautiful. I like to make pieces that have an overall organization but also have some chaos.  The underlying structure gives the work a solid attractive basis while the disruptive elements bring the piece to life.  I also often try to create pieces that look different as you change perspective.

My process starts with a sketch which is either designed directly in a drawing program or is the output of an algorithm that I coded specifically for the piece.  My works are usually constructed out of many smaller pieces that I laser cut and then "pin" on a supporting back piece. Because of this many-layered construction, my works have a 3D quality. I like using felt because of its warm tactile presence but also because the thicker, denser and stiffer felt that I am using is well suited to "building" my pieces.
