The biological imperative drives us forward. Informed by constructs of love, romance, fidelity, and pleasure, reproduction is adorned with the flower petal to compel replication and change. Encompassing this understanding of the biological imperative and inspired by my love of nature’s elements, and aesthetics I create and play without a plan.

These images are not created with algorithms or programming. I use Photoshop to cut, layer, and color adjust. The work is created by cutting up my photographs of flowers, layering my drawings on those pieces and further deconstructing and reconstructing new configurations. The precision of these cuts and splices are enabled by technology. The drawings laid on the photos are highly detailed, their linear clarity carries through each permutation adding an additional structure to the evolution. I know the image is complete when any new change destroys the whole image.

What happens when we play with nature? Beautiful and terrifying things, I believe. This is the story the images tell.
