This work weaves a limitless stream of pixels and life. The deeper I fall into this sphere, the more I uncover the mysteries of my own subconscious and the world around me, letting the digital world reveal my connection to the natural world. All of which starts with a collection. The desire to find and store any item or bit of information that catches my eye. At the beginning, all items are physical. A small drawing, clothing tags I’ve sewn together, or a piece of trash someone left behind. All something to hold in my hand or to see with my own eyes. But almost always, these items are transported into the digital realm, giving me a chance to look at things closer through a technological lens. By layering all bits of information together, I am giving image and sound a chance to react in the digital format; each bit flowing into the next. Any addition creates all kinds of hybrid forms, multiplications crossing over another, all distorting and building a new life every time.
