Artist Statement

My art draws upon the subconscious taking the form of personal moments that reflect emotions examining our understanding and measuring the trusting of our cognitive space. It portrays whimsical faces and characters from multiple perspectives representing intimate moments of self-reflection and confrontation that occur daily with others and our selves. It all begins with sketches and paintings that are transformed into animation for 3D VR, kinect interactivity, opera performances and sculpture events. The visitor is situated as an active character in the world and must adapt to the language of the environment in order to progress through the lively drama.
