I have recently been researching the dichotomy of the term "island fever," with specific interest in how the tendencies toward escapism that have developed on and around these micro-economies (islands.. tropical ones) relate to the much larger tendencies of escapism that exist in space exploration and transcendence through technological means and development. Ultimately, my interest is in the cultural production of alternative spaces and alternative definitions of "space," as traditionally accepted ideas and actualities of physical space (and access to it) have been quickly diminishing.

Additionally (4/9/2011):

My current research examines the relationships between science and culture, with an emphasis on the intermediary role and influence of science fiction. Coming from strong environmental roots, my inquiry originated with a premise concerning the potential magnitude of a cultural shift in the face of environmental crisis, as opposed to our current reliance on science and technological development; a change of lifestyle versus a scientific breakthrough.

This pursuit has raised many issues that relate to the dilemma of promoting truths not grounded or proven through scientific methods, opening teetering doors of religion & cult, politics & economics, and also the potential for the promotion of a variety of fictitious truths. However, I aim for all of this in a light-hearted fashion. Humor has become a significant theme throughout my work, with the intention of presenting controversial themes and ideas with a spoonful of "c'est la vie."
