Artist Statement
I'm interested in viewing things close-up, finding the art in science, developing ever deeper appreciation of the worlds within worlds comprising our reality. My work includes explorations of biological, cultural, and metaphorical thresholds, including microscopic views of tears, bees, my own bones; aerial images with a microscopic sensibility, and other portfolios that include the liminal spaces of Morocco, emotional spaces of abandoned couches in LA, ongoing studies of the ocean.
Process Statement
Microscopy includes use of optical microscope for Tears, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the bees
