Artist Statement: “Science tells us how close we are to other animals, we share the form of most of our organs with so many of them. Like them we have two eyes, two ears, breath and entropy, and like them we can laugh and cry. Even those who are foreign to our eyes have bodies which, like us share a genetic code and DNA that goes back through time to beginning of life on the planet. We are the future and unknowable destiny of the planet itself, now that we can manipulate the code.
My imagination is blown wild by that knowledge. I am both more and less than human through my interactions with our collective technology and consciousness.
I want to make creatures that ask Who am I, and Who are You?”
