I started making collage art long ago with Elmer's glue, Kinko's copies, and Prismacolor pencils. After spending years in the desert, and in front of the computer making images new, the generative tools started to develop, and I found my medium. I am finding generative processes that are collaboratorative and powerful, and working them into my artistic process has been a pleasure and a revelation.

  The source images that I draw from, that speak to me, have not changed that much over the years. From microscope to telescope, cave handprints to machine learning, the same shapes and patterns weave themselves together into the same old stories on one gargantuan, recursive loop. In this forest floor of ever-blossoming majesty (and despair), we are just seedlings breaching the surface and stretching up toward the light, while under our dark soil it is turtles all the way down, baby.
