My experience in the design industry has taught me to arrange data so that it serves as a descriptive or persuasive instrument. I use this knowledge to create graphic systems that reveal truths about social, economic, environmental, and political issues. I carefully select data sets that illustrate my views
on consumption, urban sprawl and renewal, socioeconomic and class divisions within cities, and current events. I often focus on issues that are related to the city of Columbus or the Midwest region and how these areas compare to the country as a whole.
Through printmaking, painting, mixed-media, and sculpture, I interpret these raw data sets into functional, attractive graphic forms. I rely upon my background in graphic design to make informed, deliberate aesthetic decisions that allow data and visually appealing design to coexist. The data points represented in my work always remain factually accurate, but are simplified to allow natural graphic patterns to emerge.
