BLOOM plays with the concept of natural flow as it permeates our world. I observe this flow in the natural, digital, and spiritual worlds. These worlds are merged by the hand to form a transcendental experience. Strings of silicone move through synthetic forms constructed by lasers flowing through liquid resin, and molten glass flowing through a flame. My work blends the digital and physical, the natural and man-made, the fantasy and reality. The digital realm allows me to play with space using mathematics — a universal material. The physical realm allows me to blend the universal elements inside of glass. As my body labors these materials, I find myself in the most fluid conversation with my energetic self.
