Bio
As an interdisciplinary artist, I have worked in multiple mediums ranging from painting and drawing to performance, video/animation, and installation art. Although my work manifests in both organic and technological media, I choose the medium that will best suit my current concepts, instincts, and attraction.
When working with visual art, I find that I am drawn to cycles, which manifests as repeated marks in my two-dimensional work or repetitive action in my performance art. Additionally, I enjoy exploring the idea of secrets. More specifically, that which is hidden, less visible, subtle, or implied. As a result, I have become interested in the golden ratio over the course of my artistic practice*. In my work, I have gravitated towards mediums that replicate the fractal-like behavior of the golden ratio such as mirrors and video feedback. When two mirrors face each other and reflect infinitely back at one another, at some point, the eyes are no longer able to see the reflection even though the mind continues the pattern. The silent echoing of repeated visuals is one example of the "hidden" I like to use in my work.

*The golden ratio is a mathematical proportion found everywhere in nature from sunflowers to our bodies to the well-known fractal-like image of the nautilus shell. The famous image of the "golden" rectangle pictures a series of quadrilateral shapes whose sides correspond to the Fibonacci Sequence. These shapes spiral infinitely inward and outward. To find out more about the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio, you can read about them here.*
