Artist Statement

For several decades, my work has been informed by a deep commitment to biological forms, technology, and the body. I've recently expanded this inquiry by looking at coastal regions as sites of biological convergence, transformation, and human impact.

Coastlines are liminal zones—neither fully land nor sea—and they are increasingly vulnerable to ecological and climatic pressures. I render these spaces through layered imagery that evokes both the physical and the speculative: mapping the unseen life-forms, patterns, and energetic exchanges that occur within them.

I incorporate lines, forms, and textures derived from both hand-drawn gestures and digitally manipulated images of microscopic life found in or associated with a specific geographic site. These elements are layered with maps, scans, and field data, creating abstract compositions that suggest fictional anatomies.

The visual language of the work resists literal representation, instead offering fragments and traces — echoes of organic life seen through the lens of imagination and process. Many of the works play with scale and hybridity, inviting viewers to engage with the ambiguity of what is biological, technological, or invented.

In returning to drawing after a long period of digital practice, my process remains improvisational and embodied. I crop, paste, draw, and alter images as a way of thinking through the complexity of life at micro and macro scales. These gestures reflect a broader interest in the permeability of boundaries: between species, between scientific and artistic ways of knowing, and between ecological awareness and personal perception.
