Artist statement

My process resembles a horticulturist's, in as much as I participate in the growth and arrangement of the work. The computer's powers of iteration allow me to cultivate the type of progressions that occur in nature - like the growth of organisms, the stratification of minerals or the development of cloud systems. Like a horticulturist, I encourage these progressions according to my own intuitions and taste.
