I'm an artist working at the intersection of photography and sculpture using 3D scanning. I make space for people to experience their own bodies as volume and landscape, and for people to experience sensory memory of an object. I do this by sculpting entirely with volume and light.

Instead of taking photos with a camera, I use a 3D scanner. I am moved to experience the body stripped down to its volume. No skin, no clothes, no lighting, just the shape and space we take up. There are unlimited ways to look at the human form when it is captured in 360 degrees. I light up every time I get to show someone their own body as volume, and see them zoom into a curve and create a mountain landscape, or zoom out and see the top of their head as if a bird looking down from the sky.

Because I work in digital wire frames you can also see through the scanned image. Sometimes people think my photographic prints are x-rays or inverses of photos, but even more mysteriously, we are actually seeing through the subject as a container. You don’t see what is inside -- instead you see, for example, your front and your back at the very same time.

I have a wildly eclectic background that includes being born into a military family, growing up on a farm in Southern Idaho, getting my education in community college in Wyoming and university in Texas, and then spending most of my career in New York City.  I have been a professional dancer traveling the world performing and teaching. I have been a director of various software and interactive technology projects.  In this fourth decide of my life I simply describe myself as an artist. It's all connected.

Volume. Sensory memory. Seeing in new ways and being surprised by what it brings up inside us. This is what I invite you to imagine along with me through this art. I call it Night Sculpture because I 3D scan in the dark.
