Technology and science continue to transform the way we view the physical world and our surrounding landscapes, but leave a gap where the visceral is concerned.  As our surroundings become more manufactured and increasingly digital, my work attempts to forge a connection to our aesthetic environment and to the ethereal.  My fascination with the tie between human understanding and the surrounding environment has led me to explore consciousness within the context of a physical space.  How do we experience the physicality of space?  Can we separate the experience of the physical body, limited to five senses, from emotional and mental responses?  By constructing and manipulating physical spaces, I aim to bring attention to the way we relate to our environments. 

The large-scale spatial installations I build envelope the audience and create a physical experience.  The installations are choreographed so the audience actually feels the space come alive through their own experience of it.  The works exist for the audience and their experience of the work becomes vital to its realization.  The installations often employ multimedia as a way to create dimension and use video to highlight the passage of time.  In other works, I use non-digital materials such as paper, nylon and leaves to create hyper-artificial environments.
