Welcome...
There is such potent beauty in a bridge or an antenna, a silent power in high-tension towers. We burn volatile vapors in our engines and light our homes with electricity made miles away in a coal-fired generator. Our voices whisper into the ears of our dear ones through the telephone, and we listen to music on radios attached to nothing. Each day we witness miracles and hardly bother to notice. My work attempts to remind us that the everyday lowly and utilitarian infrastructure of our world is filled with exquisite objects whose creation represents a self-portrait of mankind. Through mechanical forms I strive to distill our relationship with the world, a relationship of beauty, consumption, and utilization, into a symbolic object.
