How does what I see become what I know and what is the best way to visualize this translation? As a visual artist, I make work that documents this process. In my research, I draw in- spiration from the disciplines of cognitive science, philosophy, and architecture. Using the tools of mapping and patterning as well as receiving inspiration from bottom up construction in which small interactions create larger entities, I produce forms that allude to living systems, natural phenomena, and architectural structures. In my most recent body of work, I use drawing, printmaking, and sculpture to give a physical pres- ence to the invisible process of perception. By using a process of pattern recognition and pattern generation, both finding and fabricating forms, I negotiate the boundary between randomness and structure.
