STATEMENT
By juxtaposing devices of technology with issues of human rights, economics, and culture, my work explores the collision of simple and complex meanings. Language, symbol, and code become content, context, and create experience. Control is visually abbreviated. This metalanguage is continuing to move out of the virtual and into the vernacular as it alters the way people communicate and work.
