Artist¹s statement regarding the ³Web Architecture Series²

I am interested in the digital and web environment because it transforms our perception of the spaces we physically inhabit. I am particularly fascinated by the new architecture because it so clearly shows the ³signature² of computer-aided design. The prints in this series are an extended meditation on our continuous redesigning of both the virtual and physical world.
