As an artist I work in three different but related areas: art making, art writing (both data based and theoretical) and art curation. I balance all three to create a support system that brings together diverse concepts and representations to build common narratives. My art making (facet one of my research) investigates themes that bridge across many cultures such as family, sexuality, femininity, fertility, religion identity and feminism, all in the pursuit of artistic form that both tells a story and builds community. In my art writing (facet two of my research) I investigate viewer reception of digital artworks and the future direction of the digital arts discipline by identifying common cultural conditions for both viewers and producers of digital art experiences. In facet three of my research, I curate exhibitions for leading institutions within the field of digital arts to articulate new shared patterns developing in the discipline, and give voice to others’ innovations within the field.
