Printed drawing on silk and needle-felted wool. From the Bioreveries series, untitled. Needle felting is such an interesting process. It require patience and yet it is quite physically demanding. I will be making more work with this medium. . . . . . #textileart #textiledesign #visualart #contemporaryart #artprocess #drawing #print #artiststudio #softmaterial #softaesthetic #texture #microscopy #artandscience #sculpturaldrawing #cellular #pattern #repetition #medianomadism #bioreveries (at Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXAcVplc8J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4t2z4a8z97q9

In 3D fabrication the algorithm that create the “support architecture” to sustain the overarching parts can assume an organic configuration. It is meant to be discarded but I feel it is an integral part of the design. I love this idea of #help”, and “support” a sort of synthetic empathy between code and material. Wouldn’t be nice to always feel supported like this? #bioreveries #artwork #artexhibition #sculpture #3d #3dprinting #bioplastic #venation (at Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles)

New print ready to frame. The T(issues) series explores patterns of tissues of the human body indicative of time. The hidden clock in our bones, the density of the garden in our blood, the indexical marks of our intimate and transient materiality.

The word epithelium (/ˌɛpɨˈθiːliəm/) was initially used to describe the translucent covering of small "nipples" of tissue on the lip. . . . #poster #print #ink #process #simulation #bioreveries (at Los Angeles, California)

"Imagination is not to be divorced from the facts: it is a way of illuminating the facts. It works by eliciting the general principles which apply to the facts, as they exist, and then by an intellectual survey of alternative possibilities which are consistent with those principles. It enables men to construct an intellectual vision of a new world.

The way a fly flies or a mouse flits, in relation to the way an elephant moves or a whale glides through water indicates that body size matters. can we extend our senses to experience these things from another creature (assumed) position (size, felt perception, frequency, location)? can we imagine an alteration of how different nervous systems process sensory information? can we add a synaesthetic association to a visible topology? the subjectivity of time perception can be grounding and self-affirming - a source of great pleasure, or, conversely, able to create a state of disassociation with one’s self - a state of transcendence. either way, it would seem an imposition to suggest anything other than that distinct species experience passing time on different scales.
