Artist Statement
My work is inspired by rebellion, exploring colour, texture and patterns in the multi-layered geomagic world. I utilize the disused and discarded, reintegrating them with new technology into a 21st century multimedia reality, removing the barriers of creative expression through communal collaboration.
