An awareness of one's own perception of the surrounding world can lend oneself to a more playful attitude.  Often through process-based artistic practice and multi-disciplinary approach, I create dynamic and evolving spaces with installations, games, and images for individual and group play and interaction.  Drawn from my academic training in semiotics, film and video, painting, professional toy & game design and reemerging art installation Translation is Dialogue, I raise consciousness of one's environment, the process of understanding, and the impact the viewer has on the artwork.  Translation studies carry a strong influence in my work, providing a platform for rigorous investigation into our unique ways of perceiving.  I am inspired by the power of abstract images that can jolt the imagination and the art of storytelling in unexpected ways.  My works come alive and grow with the viewer’s presence, participation and mediation while offering a new mode of understanding oneself and the collective human experience.
