All the work has been made in response to the loss of both of my parents due to cancer in early 2013. On the microscopic level this disease is architecturally fascinating and beautiful; it's when you insert the context of what it is, that it then becomes horrific and tragic. I am fascinated with this connection and the similarities that the micro and macro share. I use paper in response to the fragility and rigidity of microbes and how robust they can be.

Artist Statement

This work questions the notion of microbial outbreaks and their similarity to the visual representation of sound waves, transforming them into something more playful. By layering paper I'm able to build land formations that mimic viral colonies and concentric sound waves. These strange landmasses contaminate and infect the surfaces they inhabit transforming the space into something suitable for their gestation.

Best advice you’ve been given • Work hard everyday. No one owes you a chance, you've got to go out and get it, and always have two exhibitions ready to go at anytime.

Goals/Aspirations • That my career steadily keeps growing and garners more respect. I've never wanted a meteoric rise. Slow and steady and relevant is fine with me as it doesn't force the work to be anything that it's not.

Favorite artist • Don't really have a favorite. Any artist that is meticulous and makes me wonder how their work was made is an inspiration.

What are you reading • Chroma phobia

Hope to learn how to • Speak another language fluently

You spend a lot of time thinking about • How everything is so interconnected visually once the context is removed

Favorite musical artist • Huge fan of Freddy Mercury

What do you do when not creating art • Collecting medical oddities and art toys
