I view teaching as a collaborative process where the teacher and
the student combine their skills and knowledge to progress the work
of the participants.
My work is inspired by the patterns and geometry of the natural
world. I am interested in the narratives recorded by irregularities
within patterns and the response of living organisms to random
events. Scars and imperfections interest me more than
perfection.
