Working across a variety of artistic disciplines, my installations, animations, drawings, and digital prints have been exhibited in multiple national and international venues. Current solo exhibitions of these installations include: "my corpse is not yet quite up to scratch" Vespine Gallery, Chicago (July-August 2006); "a machine designed by the devil and powered by the dead" Hanover College Art Galleries, Hanover, IN (September-October 2005); "Tart" Urban Institute of Contemporary Art's Race St. Gallery, Grand Rapids, MI (September-October, 2004), and "Nothing this beautiful can be real!" at The Fugitive Art Center, Nashville, TN (October-November 2003). My work has been selected for group exhibitions exploring a wide range of media and themes, such as: "Group Show," Packer Schopf Gallery, Chicago, IL (October-November 2006), "4th Annual International Video Shorts Screening" Women's Caucus for Art, College Art Association Conference 2007 (juried by Sheryl Mousley--Curator of Film and Video, Walker Art Center, MN), "Pixel Pops!" C2C Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic (September 2006); "Digital Print Exhibition" Swarm Gallery, Oakland, CA (juried by Marisa Olsen, Curator-at-Large for Rhizome.org, New Museum of Art, NYC); "Signal in/on Eastern Europe" Kika Gallery in Budapest, Hungary (June-August 2006); Almost Heaven, Peter Miller Gallery, Chicago, IL (March-April 2002); Playground, Warren Robbins Gallery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (August 2003); and "As Small As Possible" ZG Gallery, Chicago, IL (November-January 2004).

I am fascinated with the analog and digital devices scientists use to construct visual representations of biological information, specifically at a molecular level. Beyond an appreciation of the mechanics of scientific visualization and microscopy, I'm interested in creating connections between art and science through imaging and modeling. A scientific visualization categorized as "abstract," for example, is comprised of arbitrary shapes and forms. The derived image, animation, or model is entirely conceptual or theoretical in nature. My animations, objects, and digital prints function in quite the same way: as imagined types of scientific visualizations or, as I describe it, "fictional molecular graphics". Typically I arrange and intermingle these elements in consideration of a specific space, although at times my animations, digital prints, and objects have been exhibited independently. Collectively presented, these parts are used to create immersive, installation environments that suggest a macro- representation of a microscopic space. I assemble the elements within site-specific spaces to create a sense of discovery for the viewer; naughty surprises in small corners, unexpected treasures up-close, playful intrusions overhead.
