The idea

Picture a mid-century pinball machine, stopped mid-play and laid flat: every bumper, light and lane locked into one still, vibrant mosaic.

Working from my studio in Rhode Island, I have always been drawn to the way geometry can capture a mood. My early explorations were about finding a rhythmic dance between structure and play. I wanted to see if I could make a static image feel like it was moving, twirling in a sort of modern harmony that felt both nostalgic and fresh. In works like Twirl and Wave , I began to experiment with how lines could bend and interact. These pieces laid the foundation for my style, focusing on funky patterns and the complex shapes that have become a signature of my practice. I realized that by layering these forms, I could create a sense of joyful balance.
