My work investigates the dual nature of identity, as manifested in both physical and abstract forms. While typical notions of identity are centered on spiritual and intellectual selfhood, we must also consider the fact of our physical bodies. Pure abstract consciousness is a fiction; the only tangible evidence of thought is its manifestation as physical object or act.

My recent work has focused on the nature of language as it relates to the larger issue of identity. All communication begins as abstract intent, which is broadcast using physical processes, and then re-interpreted as content. I am interested in the period during which a communication exists only as physical phenomenon. How can a rule system, applied to a group of objects, evolve content which seems to exceed its ability to carry meaning?
