Artist Statement
I use equipment and techniques in Video Art and New Media to create visceral, abstract imagery that reflects the human experience in the Digital Age. I often collaborate with other time-based artists as a means of visually capturing the beauty of performance. I aim to empower viewers to actively shape their digital encounters, reclaiming agency over their presence in physical spaces and challenging our newfound social norms.
