'the work I create conceptually relates to my interest in liquid forms that are evolutionary on the one hand as their

origins are deep and primordial, but on the other there is a need to create objects which are fresh and new born,
products of a new era of enlightenment, charged with another presence that touches the creative soul'.

'they are created digitally in an advanced contemporary process sculpting via algorithmic and NURBS manipulation
directly on the cinema display. the object has been modeled to live inharmony with rooms of a human scale as the
light is laser beamed onto the tessellations, relaying back ghostly images that are truly bio-morphic and ethereal
in their random virtuality' RL
