Statement
Art is a good excuse to play. Play is a fun way to try on new realities. Exploring patterns and symmetry through abstraction presents an opportunity to look outside of a regular pattern of seeing. Relationships between underlying forces exemplify the inseparability of structure and narration. Structures and voids organize a lattice around these distinctions and connections.
Artworks

A large cubic lattice of pencils. The simple cubic non-intersecting tetrastix cylinder arrangement extends covering the wall with over 720 pencils.
