As an interdisciplinary artist who is captivated by process. I am often driven by the nagging sense that something just beyond perception is pulling the strings. Hidden in plain sight, are patterns, systems, and connections that have a much greater effect on the whole of us. No longer questioning, everything is taken as truth.
Working across disciplines, I re-visit and re-imagine common symbology as used in US currency to explore some of these invisible forces that are shaping us all: the passage of time, the fragility of memory and the influence of money, power and tech.
I craft experiences from these familiar imagery to create new works that blur the lines between real and virtual.
Augmenting reality with something just beyond imagination.
