I create hybrids of paintings, sculptures, and murals while overlapping boundaries

between 2D and 3D forms. The interplay evokes a connective energy of quantum
entanglement, as particles or cells in the art’s system. Using visual sensory perception
directed towards the processes of movement, spatial existence, and color, my art
reflects on my personal existentialism and combinations of art styles and modernized
processes.
Through iconography, symbolism, and variations of scale, I aim to reach human
emotions in memory or projected ideas of the mind. The sculptures are intended to
affect the viewer’s perspective through time from the moment they are noticed, to the
way they are observed, to the way they are remembered. My intention is to interrupt the
common representational view of the observer and draw them into the space for the
fullness of an experience.
I use the positive and negative spaces and consciously integrate the “dark matter” we
cannot see but know we exist in. The art pieces themselves and the spaces in between
contain a connective energy that exists with the movement, alteration and replacement
of the art pieces in space. 
The symbolism that I use is meant to emphasize what the primordial mind notices. The
symbols are directed towards the senses and the collective concept of how a human
processes information to try and understand a visual form. My art can be an esoteric
invention or conventionally traditional depending on the observer and the space and
time that they encounter it. Different points of contact in time or space can cause
different interactions. The expressive language of the art leaves a synopsis trail of
mental awareness that considers the experience of these different states of mind.  
The connective definitions each piece holds in relation to each other resembles a type
of alphabet or pathway of thought. Even with the separation or distancing of the pieces,
the entanglement of the collection is expanded. The experiences of the observer’s
interactions are added to the whole experience of the art as a collective whole
entangled in its existence.
My work is the study of artistic quantum entanglement. The interaction of the collective
artwork’s relationship within itself varies with its placements of focal points, which can
alter conceptual meanings. Through experimentation and exploration, this
crossbreeding of painting and sculpting creates its own experiences in which the
observer is part of the whole practice. Within that space, time and relationship to the
observer, thought, reactions, memories, and processes morph into an amalgamation.
This requires the observer to bring forward their experiences, intermix them with the art
and depart with the understanding that they were part of the revealing of the intangible
and observed representations.
