My exploration of the language of form is an inquiry into the nature and discipline of creation itself—a pursuit of the fundamental organizational principles that govern the design of the cosmos and give rise to the artifacts of human ingenuity. From the meticulous drawings of Leonardo da Vinci to the digital marvels of Industrial Light & Magic, I am captivated by the boundless reach of human imagination. My work is an exploration of the mysterious unifying principals that inform the natural world, revealing a deeper order and structure that is the cornerstone of our reality.

My work explores the intersections and obscures the boundaries between architecture, industrial design and art. Each piece is as much a realization of an abstract design concept as it is a unique work of three-dimensional art. A strict and systematic organization of components define this work and manifest a distinct unifying methodology that has both physical and spiritual origins. The fabrication combines the "tried and true" techniques of old-fashioned craftsmanship with today's most advanced rapid prototyping technologies such as CAD modeling, 3-D printing, and CNC fabrication. From creation through completion the dichotomy of ‘handmade’ and ‘computer generated’ informs the development and execution of the work.
