artist statement
05 19 2007
I turn everyday technologies inside out.
Value emerges when design reveals the evolution of human logic and thinking embedded within technology. Really, it makes us feel better.
.
My work is about recovering the human gesture within the context of technology.
Sometimes I make sculpture, sometimes I build machines, sometimes I write code. Often I draw and write words with a black pen on paper.
I begin by breaking apart an opaque technology. Once it is in pieces, I play and explore in a way that is personally intuitive. Regaining my own gesture within what was once an impenetrable system. I begin to reconstruct. Extracting any unnecessary complexities, my reconstructions are simple, ordered and transparent.
love,
