Artist Statement
Every human eye has a substantial blind spot where the optic nerve connects to the
retina. The brain continuously fills in our blind spots by deciphering surrounding
visual information. In the current climate of spin, misinformation and sensory bombardment,
our cultural blind spots are growing exponentially.
How do we fill in the gaps with pertinent, meaningful information?
What sources do we trust?
How do we process issues as monumental as sustainability and global warming?

a high efficiency housing architect, who created the first "mirror mobile"
in Montana.
