These sculptures employ religious and humanist aesthetics to create two altars: one for projection and one for reflection. The choice of form and materials are inspired by conversations surrounding the impact of technological advances on individuation.
A PERSONAL NOTE
After my MS diagnosis, I immediately began mourning my future in the face of how MRI scans appeared to redefine me. Would I be minimized to a binary technological interpretation or take control of the definition? In response, I created tools for considering time, change, and the impracticality of idealization. Those tools took the shape of a playable record of MRI machine noise lathed onto one of my scans and trapped within 21 layers of acrylic sitting atop a pedestal crafted to ideal greek proportions.
