Artist Statement

​​

My series, Mutualism, explores a relationship between science and art.

 

When I observe objects in our natural world:

sinuous scales of snakeskin, withered pods of plants, hairy articulations of arachnids,

I find a parallel between the intricate structure of these specimens and the elements of art and design.

​

Using scanning electron and stereo microscopes, I enlarge minute matter, and digitally enhance these subjects with vibrant hues to reveal a world of fascinating form.

 

My work merges actuality and abstraction, allowing unique anatomical attributes to surface. By blending science and art, I wish to display the inherent beauty of the natural world in a new way.
