Ever since I was a kid I’ve enjoyed making collages, playing with tape recorders and taking pictures. Arranging and juxtaposing sounds and images to find hidden meaning, or just plain silliness.
Nowadays, my work is informed by investigations into Chaos and Emergence. Using the tools and lenses of culture and technology, I investigate the emergent order that unfolds at the intersection of my perception, my will, and the physical world.
Since my own philosophy is constantly reformulating, I hope the following randomly generated paradigm will serve as my artist’s statement. To paraphrase Marx(1): These are my principles, if you don’t like them then click here, I have others.
Creativity is the ability to tease emergent order from the chaos of nature. The present is in dynamic tension between being and becoming. Like vortexes or standing waves, we are made of the medium from which we emerge and to which we re-merge. No complex system can be understood in isolation.
