I create images of hybrids; entities which are organic and synthetic, animal and architectural, dark and whimsical. These hybrids form around Christian mythology, but are placed into the context of video games and Hollywood CGI through the computer technology which I employ. The basic Christian themes of sacrifice, death, and transcendence of the body remain constant yet are given new relevance by the digital medium. When taken as a whole the work becomes an ominous vision of anxiety, addressing an uneasy relationship between nature and the man-made.
