Mixed Media

In my mixed media work, I aim for a unison of art and design as I recycle found objects with a variety of techniques. My style has grown directly out of the play between material and manipulation. The diverse technologies of my process include paper collage, 3D design, digital fabrication and post work, photography, drawing, and layered construction. The flexibility of mixed materials frees me to explore mood, metaphor, and atmosphere.
