"Branching" occurs in nature specifically when botanical elements are forking, bifurcating, dividing and splitting. The ceiling became an intensification of this concept by creating an artwork. Weaving veneered oak wood limbs hang in two stemming clusters where tendrils of orb like parametric light fixtures thread through like fruit, floor plan showing placement of (2) sculptures above, (2018), collaboration with William Lane, Food@Science Café at The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, Miami

3D_ASSETS was a response to the reification of building construction and architecture for investment property. In the context of "E-State Realisms", the goal was to attempt from within the framework of asset production to create a mutation or possible sets of variants in which the work could circulate from the standpoint of art, architecture and marketing. The hope is to liberate more specifically computation and digitality in design from bending solely to the rules of capitalist and market limitations, questioning whether digitality can rupture the very limit it has been ascribed to. I think it is a chess game, and 3D_assets are chess pieces, 3D_ASSETS, still of digital models, (2018)

Something that is born in virtual space, (co)produced by someone's fingertips, becomes someone's home, someone's office -- someone's 'property.' Is there another way to work? I'm interested in conflating the usual flows by infiltrating them first. Let's see where it goes..., 3D_ASSETS, MODEL 6, still of digital model , (2019)

Oolite Arts’ Shares program uses the model of supporting local agriculture and adapts it to support South Florida artists. When a collector purchases a Community Supported Art Share (CSA), they receive nine pieces of art, each commissioned by a local Miami artist. Because the artist creates artworks for (50) shares, I decided to create a series of 5 ‘pearls’ - (10) prints each. I collaborated with Miami Beach Urban Studios (MBUS), a fabrication lab associated with Florida International University (FIU), PEARLS, stills of digital models, (2020)
