Artist Statement
As part of an ongoing series of which early pieces were focused on humans as a virus on the planet and the complexity of cities. Fictionalized ambiguous or nonplace grey areas, not clearly one thing or the other, left open to interpretation, considered to be spaces of uncertainty or intermediacy is where the series has organically evolved.

Dense amorphous void-like shapes represent cancer, glaciers, particles, pathogens, black holes, islands, etc.. These elements are more often than not intended to express intrusive dominating and destructive foreign bodies. However, in the same breath, they can and should be viewed as neutral, peaceful, helpful or maybe even playful entities. These dualities, contradictions and conflicts permeate through my work.
