Artist Statement

The Eternal Ephemeral is a journey through the familiar and unfamiliar where light and sound drift along like our endless, numbered days. Within these walls the virtual and the real collide, opening up a gateway to a space in-between that is mundane, yet unfamiliar. A place where the everyday and routine animate the obscure and the alien, enabling the potential of the virtual to seep into the real. This symbiosis of the real and the virtual is mutually beneficial, perhaps even necessary, facilitating the expansion of both dimensions and revealing each as unique parts of a continuous whole.
