ARTIST STATEMENT

My work explores the threshold where rigorous scientific inquiry confronts the limits of understanding—that crucial point where fact ends and faith begins. Through mixed-media investigations spanning sculpture, drawing, painting, and public engagement, I examine how meaning emerges from the convergence of systematic observation and raw mystery. 

My current practice has evolved into live-time social investigations, where art-making functions as an experimental framework for examining community building and collective meaning-making. These projects employ quasi-scientific methodologies—systematic observation, careful documentation, and reproducible conditions—while acknowledging that the most profound human experiences transcend measurement. 

Each investigation resembles a choose-your-own-adventure story, where sculptures, drawings, paintings, and community input generate interconnected meanings. Using my own symbolic visual language that recurs throughout the work, I create rigorous experiments that invite participants to engage with profound questions that defy answers. 

My work honors scientific methodology while embracing its limitations. These limitations are the threshold where observable data meets the unknowable, and art becomes alchemy. Here, introspection leads to collective understanding, systematic process to shared faith, and rigorous investigation to speculation and wonder.
