ARTIST STATEMENT

​

My work investigates the mechanics of seeing. Drawing from life, photography, technology and memory, to synthesize portraits, landscapes, and objects into singular images that challenge perceptual certainty.

Grounded in visual semiotics and informed by sustained study of perceptual science, I explore the tension between recognition and ambiguity. Familiar forms coexist in shifting hierarchies, allowing realism and abstraction to occupy the same visual field.

I describe my process as “Spontaneous Contrivity”—a disciplined orchestration of intuition and structure, accident and intention. Through this balance, the image becomes an arena where visible and imagined realities converge.

These works propose a dialogue between art and science, inviting viewers to look beyond surface coherence and engage the unstable territory between what is seen and what is understood.
