   Immersed and immeshed within a sea of network connections, the underground world of trees reveals itself in rich and complex beauty. Messages are shared; stories are told. Memories formed; souls entwined…
Born from a fascination with scattered light passing through translucent surfaces and volumetric atmospheres, my most recent work, entitled Trans-lucid, uses each to create a tension between revelation and mystery. I use mixed-media constructs that combine photography, painting, found objects and internal illumination. Through animation, I may introduce the element of time and invite the viewer to become an engine of motion.
