CONNECTION
In my Connection series, I explore the nuances of human relationships by transforming upcycled computer components into reflective wall sculptures. Using hard drive platters and motherboards, I illustrate the intricate and sometimes messy bonds between people, depicting moments of love, dependence, and the search for boundaries.
The sculptures are designed to be an interactive experience. As you move, the highly polished hard drive platters reflect and distort the surrounding environment, making your own shifting image and the space you're in a part of the artwork. This dynamic quality mirrors the constantly changing nature of our relationships.
Each piece offers a unique perspective on human connection, with figures that are at once separate and intertwined. The art uses a cold and unfeeling medium—one built for storing and transmitting information—to invite you to reflect on the complex tapestry of relationships in your own life and the many ways we connect, communicate, and define ourselves in relation to others.
Boundaries and Bonds
A Living Surface
My sculptures' reflective surfaces are designed to be in dialogue with their environment, creating a shifting kaleidoscope of imagery that makes the viewer an active participant.
Lighting the work sends its reflection onto adjoining walls, making the sculpture’s presence known throughout the room.
While the art is alive with energy, it also rewards closer inspection of its intricate, hand-cut details. Online, I use video to capture this dynamic quality, while "scrim" shots with minimized reflections offer the clearest view of the craftsmanship.
