We live an a profound and sublime landscape, one that stretches far beyond our planets to include galaxies, atoms, dark matter, equations, and an infinitude of cosmic forces that we cannot hope to ever see or understand. Each project I undertake seeks to explore a different layer behind our daily reality. Sometimes these projects are abstract, allusions to grander cosmic visions that I am delighted to discover, mimicked in our constructed landscape. Other projects explore natural phenomena that give insight into the beauty inherent in the minuscule and the gigantic, the illusion represented as reality. All my work takes a look, both large and small, at what might be called the "substrata" of our world: a system just behind, veiled by our daily perspective, always there and yet hardly ever contemplated.
