Artwork

My artwork ties into my training and skills as an engineer and mostly manifests itself as kinematic art - involving motion both physical and perceived (light and sound giving the impression of motion.) I work with robotics, mechanics, light, and sound, creating mobiles, stabiles, and other geometric sculptures.

I am examining the relationships of light and motion, reality and optical illusion, spinny and blinky.

Transforming Motion into Emotion

I am a classically trained Mechanical Engineer who has specialized in designing and building both large and small scale scientific experiments in an R&D environment. I am currently working at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab at the Advanced Light Source, where I design, build and manage experimental systems dealing with X-Rays, femto-second lasers and a plethora of high-tech gizmos.

My Artistic side expresses itself in the form of Kinetic art, both physical and virtual (light and sound giving the impression of motion.) I have displayed pieces at Burning Man as well as at my studio space located at the CaTaCLYsMic MeGaSHEaR RanCh, which also serves as a base for less artistic projects as well.
