....I like my sculpture to change over time. I’m interested in how this change forces reinterpretation of the object/s. As an artist, I make lots of kinetic sculpture, so the objects literally do change over time, but I’ve also learned that objects themselves can remain static and through context I can manipulate, and layer their meaning. Such taxonomies reveal the speculative and subjective nature of ontology, undermining the authority of science.

I build devices which function either actually, or metaphorically. The collaboration between user and tool results in an experience/experiment; the duo act as a machine. The objects may be seen without their user; their obfuscated intentions exist as mere possibilities, in the mind. Is it any different than viewing 17th century devices, inventions and innovations far removed from our digital world in the 21st?

The ‘present moment’ has always evinced a fascinating, modern world at the height of technology. It is an uncanny thing viewed with the benefit of hindsight.
