Artist Bio I create sculptures that explore the intricacies of human anatomy, from the cellular level to the limb. By casting a critical, scientific, and humorous eye on the mutagenesis of corporeal form, I am telling a surreal story of biology. It is a visceral investigation of the perversity of nature, the role of science, and how our bodies both affect and are affected by the world around us.

Working primarily with epoxy, resin, rubber, wax, and plaster, I let the concept and piece dictate the media. Combining traditional materials in unique ways, I cast, build, and assemble parts, resulting in forms that are unexpected and occasionally disturbing.

With this body of work, I’m exploring the visible physical expression of invisible molecular change. Mutation can be the cause of disease, but it can also be the change that leads to evolution, conquering a previous weakness.

The complex beauty of human form and function, the impact of life sciences on all living things, the processes of aging, how our bodies physically interpret the environment, and the interplay between art and science are themes that continue to weave their way through my work. These are surreal science projects of the imagination.
