I am an Associate professor of graphic design and new media and work primarily with experimental imagery, abstract illustration and graphic form created by hand and digitally. The graphic form is mostly generated digitally through emergent, algorithmic and systematic processes, and through ‘intuitive accidents’ by misusing common digital tools (pushing Adobe Illustrator to the limit). The work is realized and produced using a variety of exploratory print processes, mostly using high-end inkjet printers and speciality papers (Washi and Cotton) and fabrics (Silk), but also RISO, screen printing, and plotter drawing. My initial background is a combination of graphic design, letterpress and printmaking, but overtime have become more interested in digitally generative forms and images. As an American living and working in the Middle East for 10 years, much of my inspiration comes from Arabesque forms and geometry, post-modernist architecture, and collisions of intermixed visual culture.
