"My recent work has focused on exploring the relationship between complex organic structures common to all living organisms and the graphic language employed by science to classify and describe them. In particular, I have been fascinated with the visual presentation of empirical data and its relationship to the graphic energy of black and white figure ground relationships explored by the op artists of the 60’s. This new work is the result of my attempt to combine these interests into a compelling and original hybrid form." -September 2009
