I’m fascinated by the way technology is changing and intertwining us as humans – a lot of my work explores the juxtaposition of organic, natural forms and mechanized technology. We’re literally wired and connected to each other in so many ways… I also am very intrigued by the way we weave computing into our daily lives. I find myself bound to machines more than I ever would have imagined possible. I’m interested in conveying that connectivity and dependence. I work with a variety of media and love working with metal and re-purposing objects. There’s something really exciting about taking something out of context and making it beautiful.

‘Connected’ is a life-size self portrait made of steel, CAT5 and other data cables. It is the first piece in a new series called ‘The Global Brain’. I’ve been exploring how interconnected we’re becoming as technology is more entwined in our lives – both the positive and negative effects. This piece is the product of a variety of experiments in different mediums trying to express the power of information in a human context – to visualize how technology and information are shaping our collective human experience.
