My artwork, teaching, and research all explore the relationship between, and integration of, digital and tactile media for meaningful artistic expression. Current studio practice includes experimentation with collaborative work strategies. Integrating digital projection and rapid prototyping processes with traditional art installation strategies allows development of innovative artistic expression, while driving a research agenda focusing on democratizing access to these processes for artists.
