Cedar Street Gallery is a street-level art gallery on the corner of Shattuck and Cedar in the heart of the Gourmet Ghetto in Berkeley, CA. We hope to support artists, engage the public, spark curiosity, beautify the street and show some really cool art.

Artist Statement:
The artworks on display are UV-pigment inkjet on painted, shaped and bevelled 3/4" thick wood panels. They were firstly produced by a two-step photographic process, using flora as inputing kernels, followed by extensive digital invention. Over the past seven years, I have used views of the five Platonic solids to define the shape of such work. I like the shapes of the most recent work, unfamiliar and asymmetric as they are, yet still conducive to fleetingly experiencing as peculiar solid objects. They are intended to challenge perception, drawing attention to the mentally constructed nature of our reality. I also see these as reflecting my own medical and scientific background, with simple geometrically based starting structures giving way to complex, networked patterns.
