Artist Statement

I work with code and machines to create art. I write programs that use randomness and branching logic to produce unique visual and sonic works. Rather than designing a single finished piece, I build systems that can generate many possible outcomes. I explore these systems through an iterative process, adjusting the rules, rendering techniques, and sound design until something emerges that feels meaningful. The works I release are captured moments within this process. From a single system, I may curate collections, generate raw outputs on demand, or present the work as an evolving experience.

I consider myself a multidisciplinary artist and enjoy exploring ideas across different mediums. I work with code and generative behaviours, and I’m drawn to the ways simple rules and systems can produce complex and unexpected results. I have always been fascinated by patterns, structure, and the relationships between small elements and the larger forms they create. When creating, I rarely imagine a final image or sound ahead of time. Instead, I focus on shaping the underlying rules that guide what can happen. Each work represents a single realization drawn from a much larger field of potential outcomes.
