ARTIST STATEMENT

As an artist of both traditional and digital mediums I believe my art making should involve the mixing of the two. Having enjoyed the use of emergent technologies in my work, my main goal is to make art while combining machine and my own hand crafted elements. With the quick expansion of these technologies and programs, especially that in schools, their integration with art is inevitable. Giving myself an early start in this field of art making allows me to become more innovative in the contemporary art scene. 

​

The media I am most comfortable with is that of photography and digital fabrication, which were my concentrations while obtaining my undergraduate degree. Even though I primarily work with photography and digital fabrication, I also like to explore illustration, printmaking, videography, and graphic design. All of these different disciplines have unique characteristics that I can utilize to make work that I find interesting. Process is a large part of my work, planning out steps and working on projects in iterations, noting that anything I make can always be built upon. Light is another important element of my work, I aim to use light in almost every one of my pieces in various ways. Light is a natural part of photography, painting with light, but I also light to construct sculptures that use light to illuminate the piece or call attention to the work’s larger meaning.
