Experience at SAIC

My experience at SAIC has allowed me to explore methods and processes of art making I've always thought to be out of reach. The guidance and knowledge of the instructors here have helped me to push myself beyond my own perceived limitations and experiment within such fields as kinetics, architecture and sustainability.



Current Interests

My latest project has stemmed from an elusive memory of an object from childhood--a small music box-carousel with details I cannot recall. I remember only the wonder and the mystery of seeing its six small doors rotate open for just a moment, and then close again right away, catching only a momentary glimpse of what was held within. Remembering the object twenty plus years later and the qualities it held for me I decided to reconstruct a version of it except this time not on the scale of the miniature but on the scale of architecture.
