I am a Toronto-based artist, creating mixed media sculpture and installations that intersect art, science and the environment. Based on extensive scientific research and investigation, my work incorporates an array of diverse materials: from pigmented wax, paint, and photo-based imagery, to wire, mosquitoes, and salt crystals.
Agreeing with the philosopmy Jean Baudrilliard that panic and fear increasingly define modern society, my artworks present an examination of the cultural and social ecologies we inhabit as being transformed in unexpected, and often, uncontrollable ways. These transformations, and their accompanying emotional response, is viewed through the lens of biology, and the aesthetics of disaster.
