NOTE FROM THE ARTIST

My current work centers around "Natural Disasters", highlighting the dramatic intersection of Nature and Civilization. Works include Venice Underwater, Malibu Engulfed, and the Sumatra Tsunami.

I use chemical reactions as a medium. While my pieces are reminiscent of unfound worlds and thermal formations, my approach is not representational. Works appear as though they are real geology, because they contain the same scientific ingredients found in nature. I activate glass and ceramic materials by using hot chemical processes. My final pieces are enhanced outgrowths of an original experiment. A controlled framework accentuates the tendency of a particular material and results in new geological events.
