Artist Statement
The purpose of my work is to bring meaning and joy to people’s lives by exploring the universal truth of interdependence—dissolving the boundaries between self and other, art and audience. Often interactive, my art invites viewers to physically engage with digital screens, electromechanical sculpture, and immersive environments. By sparking human connection and meditative presence, my work reveals how meaning arises through relationship rather than isolation, challenging the assumption that we exist apart from one another or the world around us.
While At Headlands
At Headlands, I plan to deepen and expand Hidden Geometries, a body of work that reinterprets the geometric grids underlying Tibetan thangka paintings through generative digital art and traditional mineral pigment painting. In the studio, I’ll translate these precise ancient frameworks—learned through training with Himalayan master artists in Nepal—into large-scale digital animations and intimate paintings. These works will unfold as immersive environments for Headlands visitors, inviting meditative attention and a quiet sense of awe that reconnects us to ourselves. The landscape of the Marin Headlands, with its shifting light, expansive horizons (and no phone reception), offers a powerful setting for exploring how geometry shapes perception and opens awareness.
