This series of work is an exploration into the drive of curiosity and understanding through the manipulation of perception and communication. The perpetual necessity to learn, explore and investigate has always been the foundation of who I am and why I create; this curiosity and determination to grow has become the main focus and driving force in my practice. Through the manipulation of light, space, and materiality I create experiential mo ments encompassed by a hidden index of knowns and unknowns. I want the viewer to be drawn to the result of why I make and to interpret what that piece means through their eyes and experiences. Most importantly, I hope the viewer takes away a subconscious memory of the desire to understand and the allowance of curiosity to take hold.
