I am an artist and digital imaging researcher living in Chicago. My work reflects on the post-industrial landscape. Through the material poetics of steel, digital images, clay, copper, and chemicals, my constructions are haunted by what is missing in a hyper-mediated society. In my work as a digital imaging researcher, I create 3D reconstructions to archive living subjects in natural history collections. Even in high resolution, life resists perfect translation. Gaps and distortions emerge in the representations, revealing its limits. I am fascinated by what is living in the gaps and what is lost to capture. What can and cannot be metabolized as information. Sculpture offers something more solid, a direct relationship to images as objects, the raw materials of urbanity as faded waypoints in a constellation of images, the body, the city, and the earth.
