As an artist, I am drawn to the unexpected moments of absurdity, beauty, humor, and joy that we serendipitously stumble upon in our technology-laden lives, particularly when the digital tools we so heavily rely upon inevitably falter or fail us entirely. My work explores the accidental abstractions and algorithmic oddities that occur in digital spaces. I’ve spent the last few years pulling glitches off of the screen and into “real life” to see how they perform in the physical world. In this process of “IRLing” glitches, I often find that they become even more texturally complex when they’re pushed into a physical form they were never intended to assume… seeing as they were never intended to exist at all.

Beyond the aesthetic pleasures of this pursuit, there are strong existential underpinnings. My work aims to reposition the physical body in relation to digital technologies and screen-based experiences, evoking open-ended questions around the ways we come to understand ourselves and the world around us through digital media and material culture. Do we exist by divine design? Or is this all by accident? Is there magic in the mundane, substance in the interstitial, infinity in the ephemeral, meaning in the seemingly insignificant?
