INTRODUCTION TO THE WORK...........In my work I'm asking questions about the balance between advancing technology and the preservation of the natural environment. I find myself caught up in the incredible opportunities of a high tech world, while recognizing that to ignore the real possibility of destroying the natural world along the way will make all the technological advances meaningless and without value. In the search for the means to communicate my feelings, I've combined methods, materials and ideas that express various contrasts and relationships. My goal is to create a delicate balance between competing influences with the promise of instability given the slightest change. I'm a graduate of Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA.
