My current work explores the connections between traditional media and how it interfaces with digital technologies specifically aimed at the growing vocabulary of print based processes. Using digital tools as aids, my work is built up in layers where linear elements, geometry and symmetry, are embedded and superimposed on open and fluid spaces.

While the use of digital applications has become a significant component of my practice it is important that my own hand can be seen in the work. I am interested in the disjunctive qualities of analogue and digital print processes when they are combined, and the potential point in which they converge and become symbiotic.

Oral Microflora contemplates the small world of cellular life that surrounds us, specifically the microbial life that comes into contact with our mouths. This imagery explores the relationship between cellular life and humans, how these small, seemingly trivial things have a huge effect on our daily lives.

This print creates the response of viewers instantly reaching for their hand sanitizer, but it also allows viewers to see the beauty of microbial life. This relationship we share with microbes is one that is both symbiotic and nocuous, we can’t survive with- out them and yet they can be deadly. Oral Microflora I causes the viewer to be both uncomfortable as well as in awe of these tiny cells that surround our everyday lives.
