My approach is both technical and intuitive. I investigate how ideas move between different media and deliberately make the workings of my machines visible. Translation and transparency are the basis of my work, both in concept and form. By using transparent materials and openly displaying mechanisms, I invite the viewer into the logic of the work. I play with meaning by reimagining ideas through mechanics, image, text, and sound.
I'm curious about how technology shapes our daily behavior, and how our culture influences how that technology looks and works. By showing how machines and systems function (or fail) I aim to invite a different way of looking at the technologies that surround us.
I make work for people who are curious about systems, both technical and social, and how they might be reimagined through art. My goal is not only to show how something works, but to demystify it, creating space for new ways of understanding and imagining technology.
