Artist statement
I see what I make as the electromechanical
equivalents of short stories. Instead of words, sentences and
paragraphs, I use bolts, batteries, metal and custom electronics. These machinic texts create tension by mixing
natural and technological systems.
My work is rooted in handson
experimentation in the studio. In constructing automata that make use of subtle
and/or repetitive actions I hope to open a small space for contemplation in which the audience can become
temporarily absorbed.
