I create sculptures and sculptural furniture that blend nature and technology to develop components of my imagined world.
I am drawn to the intricate patterns and shapes in tree growth and mineral formations and strive to capture their beauty and complexity.
I am particularly interested in how trees and minerals emerge from the earth and grow in response to their environment.
My sculptures evoke the perception of growth, with geometric shapes emerging from organic forms.
To create my sculptures, I first use 3D modeling to sketch maquettes, or small models, of my ideas.
I then use traditional stack-lamination and carving techniques involving layering wood blocks to create the final sculptures.
My methods draw connections to atoms and pixels as building blocks and reflect my interests in the merging of art, nature, science, and technology.
