Statement
I create the art in my studio in a process that starts with defining mathematical parameters in an experimental fashion. I employ a variety of mathematical visualization tools on my computer related to processing an image. Among the programs that I work with I have found a fascination with Cinderella, and in particular the colorplot function which allows me to write short commands which are rendered on my monitor. I then transfer this digital image to a treated film using archival inks, and then make an impression on moist paper under the pressure of my etching press. I am an artist enjoying new territory for exploration within the field of mathematics.
