How is meaning manufactured? How are parts of an assembled whole differently objectified? What is the power of an aesthetic, be it religious or scientific? If the practical is of more value than the aesthetic, does embellishment make up for lack of function? I am interested in exploring the decontextualization and repurposing of meaning. My work has focused on the organic and the internal, juxtaposed at times with mechanical elements. I am fascinated by the machines of nature, the machines of our creation, and how our function as biological organisms informs our perception of what it means to be human.
