ARTIST STATEMENT My digital and printed work maps aural and visual moments. I act as an alert witness to the events around me and collect sound, video, and data and then transform these elements digitally. My work is an artifact of this investigative procedure. Sound is a foundation that unites the range within my work and it emerges as either a component in the final artistic expression or as inspiration at the inception. My gravitation to sound started as a teenager playing guitar in a band, only to emerge later during art school and inform my work. The visual aspect of my work reveals my life-long passion for maps. I want to chart a change of my perception by translating my sensory experiences.
