Abstract: 200-500 words
Joining art, science, and technology I create installations, structures, and performances that are conceptually based in scientific laws but expressed through artistic elements: drawing in space, sound, and movement. My own artistic practice is a result of experimentation, research, and play. In this paper, I will present the work of those contemporary artists whose ideas and visions helped me to define mine, such as Matthew Ritchie and Matthew Barney. I will lead you through my projects created during the Masters of Fine Arts in Sculpture program at the Savannah College of Art and Design. These projects are profoundly inspired by Brownian Motion, Theory of Evolution, Mathematical Knot Theory, as well as phenomena found in chemistry and neurology. Finally, I will conclude with the concepts, ideas, and works presented in my thesis exhibition “Tracing The Invisible”, installed at the Dewberry Gallery, Atlanta, GA, in October 2012.
