ARTIST STATEMENT

Our world and everything on it is constantly being shifted around and redistributed as things grow, die, decay, and are overgrown by something else.  Everything changes according to different environmental conditions which define their progressive composition.  Plants grow, mountains slowly rise or erode away, but so do civilisations, cultures, and species of man and beast alike.  They reflect not fixed states or closed systems, but works in progress.  Constantly diversifying, mutating, and reshaping their forms based on what the envirnonment affords them.
I am interested in how procedural artmaking can be used to generate diversity in systems like those found in nature.  My painting and photographic projects examine these differences of potentiality.  Doing so reminds me of just how varied the world is and makes me wonder just how varied it could be.
