My work as a multimedia artist explores the intersection of art, science, and spirit through the lens of emergent systems — where energy, form, and consciousness coalesce into visual language.
Electrography Cellular Automata
At the core of my inquiry lies a fascination with how intelligent systems self-organize, evolve, and remember. I seek to illuminate the hidden architectures of transformation — the patterns through which complexity arises not by replication, but by disruption, reflection, and return.
Historically, symmetry in physics was tied to divine perfection — a Platonic ideal seen as evidence of cosmic order. But with the rise of mechanistic science, these associations were cast aside in favor of objective, time-reversible laws.
Yet contemporary thinkers like Michael Leyton challenge this detachment, proposing that symmetry is not static but generative — an active principle of memory, change, and creative asymmetry.
His concept of symmetry-breaking as a record of history resonates deeply with my own artistic process: the idea that matter holds memory, that disruption is the engine of evolution, and that asymmetry encodes transformation.

This book draws from systems theory, field dynamics, harmonic symmetry, and biomimicry, it presents a new framework for understanding the world not as static and separate, but as alive, intelligent, and interconnected. Through practical insights and philosophical depth, the book invites readers to live as part of a self-organizing universe—guided by resonance, aligned with nature, and attuned to the subtle field of becoming.
“Attend to what unfolds in silence. What you dismiss as a weed may carry the deepest wisdom. Clarity is born through contrast, and beauty often dwells in what the world forgets to see.”
These ideas find form in the ABBA equation — a symbolic structure I use as a compass for seeing and making. A+ represents the origin; B-, the disruptive force; b-, the emergent trace; and a⁺, the return — altered, expanded, and complexified.

This recursive logic of emergence underpins all my media — from the imprint of light in photography to the branching patterns of electrography and the field-driven behaviors of fluid cells. Each work becomes a temporal snapshot of transformation, where matter and meaning unfold through the push and pull of opposing forces.
Photography is often viewed as a tool for documentation or representation, but it is also a deeply systemic and conceptual medium — one that actively participates in the logic of emergence.
Microscopy is more than a tool of magnification — it is a lens through which we observe the architecture of becoming. By extending the human eye into scales beyond perception, microscopy reveals worlds within worlds.
Electrography is a collaborative process between matter and force — an alchemical act in which electricity becomes the brush, and nature the co-creator. In this medium, high-voltage current is applied to botanical forms or natural materials.
Printmaking is a practice of inversion — a poetic dialogue between positive and negative space, between what is revealed and what is withheld. It is a medium where form is born from absence, where the space around the image holds equal weight to the image itself.
Magnetism is a force we feel, sense, and measure — yet rarely see. In my exploration of emergent phenomena and invisible architectures, I work with Hele-Shaw cells as a medium to visualize the hidden geometries of magnetic fields.
Phi thickenings represent a way of thinking about growth — not as linear accumulation, but as recursively structured emergence. Rooted in the logic of the Golden Ratio (Φ ≈ 1.618), these formations reflect how nature thickens, branches, and unfolds according to a deeper order.
The Bee Coherence Simulation presents a radiant diamond form, balanced and ornate, echoing the geometry of a hive. Honeycomb-like pathways spread with near-perfect symmetry from a central axis, reflecting the bee’s role as a collective architect of structure, order, and communication. This is not the chaos of random emergence—it is the intentional intelligence of the…
In the Bird Vetch Coherence Simulation, an hourglass-like symmetry emerges—two mirrored triangles connected by a narrow central axis. This form evokes the vine’s growth behavior: reaching upward and outward, reflexively responding to its environment, weaving itself into available space. The simulation reflects emergent bifurcated coherence, capturing the species’ ability to network, climb, and adapt. Bird…
This project marks an exciting shift in my creative journey, blending the beauty of electricity and organic life through my electrography work. In collaboration with Meghan Widger of Hills and Thread, a talented fabric and quilting artist, we combined our skills to create a unique piece that fuses fabric art and electrography. Through this partnership,…
“Tend the flame of your spirit with care. Honor the quiet power of your subtle essence. Survival does not demand brilliance — only presence. Reflect with discernment, and root yourself where your soul can truly grow.”
Whether working with code, sound, or organic materials, I approach each medium as a living system — a dialogue between order and chaos, symmetry and rupture, memory and becoming. My art serves as a meditation on the intelligence of form, the poetics of emergence, and the recursive rhythms that shape both consciousness and cosmos.
Its signature form — the conical, spiny center radiating petals outward — models a coherent attractor: a stable, self-organizing hub that draws energy inward for processing and then radiates influence outward through its petal “waveguides.” In the plant’s own ecological pattern, this acts like a field filter, gathering diverse inputs from pollinators, microbes, and environmental conditions, while refining them into a unified, resilient state.
Within the Emergent Theory and metaphysical framework, skullcap (Scutellaria spp.) can be seen as a field modulator—an herb whose botanical intelligence works on the boundaries between states of awareness, much like a guardian of the threshold between waking and dream, tension and release, dissonance and harmony.
In the Emergent Theory and LSF (Light, Sound, Form) framework, black walnut carries the signature of decisive transformation and boundary-setting within living systems. It is a tree that radiates a field of clear, uncompromising coherence — one that actively reorganizes the environment around it to protect its own emergence.
In the Emergent Theory framework, anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) can be seen as a field intelligence that holds a precise harmonic position within the lattice of living forms, transmitting both a flavor signature and an energetic signature that interact with multiple planes of coherence.
For centuries, Stonehenge has been framed as a mystery—an astronomical calendar, a burial ground, or a ceremonial space. But when viewed through the lens of Emergent Theory and the Light–Sound–Form (LSF) framework, it reveals itself as something far more dynamic: a field-tuning apparatus designed to align human consciousness, the Earth’s rhythms, and the movements of the cosmos into one coherent whole.
Alchemy is often remembered as an ancient quest to transform metals into gold or to obtain eternal life, but its deeper purpose was to understand the architecture of reality itself. From the perspective of Emergent Theory and the Light, Sound, Form (LSF) framework, alchemy can be seen as an early attempt to map the field dynamics that give rise to life, consciousness, and matter.
In my creative and research practice, I use AI as a collaborative tool to enhance vision, accelerate discovery, and unlock new dimensions of expression. Whether generating symbolic imagery, mapping emergent patterns, or analyzing field data, AI supports my work as an extension of intuitive and scientific inquiry. I approach these tools with care—prioritizing originality, ethical use, and alignment with the deeper coherence of the projects they serve
