Statement

 

My work investigates functions within nature through the practice and engagement with mathematical concepts. It is concerned with the logical measures between the parts and, with forms that reflect progressive, expansive or revolutionary movements. I have a drawing practice in which I follow geometric instructions. This practice allows me to adopt logical methods of thinking and creating, and provides me ways to explore the self and ways to develop it.
