I am interested in perception, what it means to look and to see and how these acts occur through physical and mediated experiences. The images and experiences I create through installations, electronics, and assemblages are based in photographic processes but combine with other media in order to show a transformation from one state to another, i.e. from physical material to light or direct experience to mediated experience.
