About
Artist Statement
My work begins with a question: how do the images and systems we use to shape nature change our relationship with it? I am drawn to the tension between our desire to control the living world and our need to belong to it.
I work with changing conditions: a visitor’s movement, a shift in the weather, the energy a building uses. Through computation, these conditions enter the image and keep it unfolding over time.
