Scientific specimens presented by museums in their glass cases and
the artistic renderings of previous eras have always fascinated me.
The displays and drawings enabled me to enter a place where
strange objects, transformed by preservation and dissection, were
brought into the light of day.
As an artist, I focus on the creation and display of curious zoological
and botanical structures. The objects constructed may live
somewhere in the present or may exist in the future. The style of the
work may be contemporary or recall the work of scientific illustrators
of the past, transcending time. Through re-imagination and
distortion, I invite the viewer to examine and interpret the
ambiguous and sometimes disquieting forms that inhabit these
works.
