KAIROS
Deriving from work over two years, 2014-2015, with the scientific team of the Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France, Musee du Louvre, “Kairos” is a landscape of possibilities in deep migration.
The video and photographs were filmed through the Centre’s Hirox microscope from elements related to an enigmatic Mesopotamian figure. They are an avalanche of the possible, microcosm and immense in space, from the center of what we don’t know to the implications of imagination. Slowly unraveling beyond descriptive, they reach to an almost undulating, disequilibrating near atomic level, in deep color.
This Mesopotamian figure, Ishtar, from the Louvre collection, is a major goddess, rubies from Burma in her eyes and navel, with her palm outstretched in the classic gesture of offering, an invitation into the work.
The sound is from NASA’S Deep Space Antennae, pointed far into the universe, the sound of starlight …
The unraveling images are an excavation through borders, an essential comment on location of perspective.

A rift, a scar, a slash, a way through…
Digital video with sound.
Premiered at the 2017 Venice Biennale in INTUITION at the Palazzo Fortuny museum.
The images originate using the Louvre’s most highly-powered microscope, referencing meteoric material that composes the crown of an ancient demonic statue (Afghanistan, 3,000 BC) from the museum’s collection. The sound is the hum of the universe from the hour of the gravitational wave detection, and the wave slipping through, traveling across 1.4 billion years. The detection was the basis for the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Amalgam Series
The vital hybrid of sensual, biomorphic shapes, a curious blend of synthetic and organic matter, merges virtual and physical notions. Inspired by deconstructed natural processes and speculative life-forms, born from the fusion of technology, rare minerals, and flesh. Amalgam is a selection of ‘hand-sculpted virtual forms, immaterial-material objects of desire, designed and sculpted in VR. Artists are using virtual reality sculpting tools to reappropriate their experience with physical sculpture. Virtual Reality Sculpting allows them to integrate their traditional fine art approach and translate physically charged expression into the immersive gesture that forms the digital object. Every Amalgam NFT includes a 3D model of the sculpture, still image, and an augmented reality experience.
