As we move through this world, we leave the marks of our passage.
As a species we leave the heaviest marks of all other creatures combined.
As separate races on this earth, we have no means of common understanding or communication or ways to solve the myriad of problems we create through avarice and the unimportant cultural and religious differences that divide us. We fail to see ourselves as one species, with a need to work together.
As an artist, my work does not directly address these problems in a narrative way, but exists as a metaphor for this philosophy. My work is about the vision, design and building of retro machine like objects, that reflect a rough, coarse beauty and unfinished quality, as are we. The intent of each piece is to remind us of powerful forces that seem beyond our control but really are not.
