The human figure, implied direction, and transitioning forms illustrate and study the cyclical system of birth, life and, death within the "Prickled Lilly Perch" series.  The experiences of birth and death are described and delivered in my work through paradoxical relationships, subtle narration, personal/cultural symbols, decoration and delicate detailing.  My hope is that this series illustrates human unity and the paradoxical conditions of physical birth, life, and death as a cycle of existence.  My work explores the extremes of the human condition through symbols and structures that allow viewers to confront their mortality with relative ease and a sense of grace.

In this work, I am co-opting practical digital technology for the purposes of physical beauty.  I gather data from rather banal internet sources, use computer based drawing and three dimensional modeling programs, and the high-tech production equipment to create images, forms, and installations that touch on the sublime.  I am interested in ways to visualize and give shape to the structure of the internet, a phenomenon I understand as an interconnected system of codes, an immaterial organism that extends to computer screens around the globe.
