My work intermingles ecology and energies; from living entities such as plants and micro-organisms; from electronic mediums such as radio waves, electrons, and photons, into interactive installations and performances. I often work with common or overlooked phenomena, due to size or perceived insignificance, such as yeast, fungi, lichen, and water to facilitate a perceptual shift and a relational inquiry; thus, installations and sculptures are participatory and in flux.
