Using algorithmic data, I manipulate computer code to generate animations of sub-atomic particle collisions. This manipulation becomes a drawing process where parameters are set and random moments of collision are captured.

I draw inspiration from the invisible world of physics and larger phenomena in nature. Evidence of a Breath of Spring came about after examining the lines of bifucating stems and blossoms on wildflowers and weeds.

Each collision generates random results. I piece collisions together to form a moving composition drawing inspiration from specific paintings. The forces at work in these animations mirror nature in its instability and uncertainty.
