My work explores the intersection between form, information and
physical space. Through the language of minimalist concepts and
scientific models and theories I create sculptures and installations
that focus on the intangible but innate relationships that exists within
objects and architecture. Here, perception is constantly shifting, often
contingent upon photons, scale and proximity. My large sculptures
investigate concepts of gravity, space and mass. Structure and void
are used as a physical delineation of form, shifting between both
two dimensional image and three dimensional volume. My work
develops from a metaphysical concern, questioning the relationships
between the visible and invisible, reality and fiction.
My practice is informed by physics, design, philosophy and architecture.
I draw from these disciplines where the theoretical and the practical
overlap, and uncertainty has actually become a principle. It is within
this dimension that my work functions. Much like the behavior of the
line my work separates and connects the micro and macro, the physical
and non-physical, probability and certainty, infinity and the finite. I use
basic common materials to build on larger more complex ideas such as
knowledge, truth, spirituality, objecthood, space and time.
