  Artist Statement
“I create quirky, vibrant worlds where geometries are manipulated to represent sci-fi fascinations combined with concerns of advancing technologies. My paintings and installations start from found blueprints, maps, diagrams, and schematics. I then isolate seemingly mundane events from my daily life and incorporate them to invent unusual structures that question utopian or distopian societal views.”
