Science and Art

Much of my current work is created using a language of shapes that mimic the threadlike hyphae of mycelium (the root-like structure of fungi that connects all plant life). These same formations are ubiquitous, representing everything from the macro of galactic space to the micro of quantum physics. Driven by these symmetries, this work is meant to be a symbol of the structures that support human connection.
