Hi there,
welcome to my online space, which presents me as an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of computational systems and natural phenomena. Recurring themes in the work presented include an interest in ecologies, the anthropomorphic, apophenia and the role of hedonistic fatigue in world-building for dopamine media/gaming markets. I want to remain curious about the joy of exploring algorithmic interpretations of spaces and processes. With a particular focus on opening up perspectives on physical realities.
The very possibility of generating infinite versions of form patterns, both digitally and physically, is what I explore in my mushroom fruiting body sculptures: What can I say after it was done? Mixing this approach with hand-carved sculptures and highly controllable tools is what interests me about a body of work popular for its non-human, sometimes uncanny and often technical (kinetic) aesthetics. By examining these patterns in contemporary computer graphics, these works are intended as an experiment in how technological frameworks shape an understanding of space, organic systems and processes.
