Figuring out how things work and discovering what components are necessary to create a fully functional machine intrigues me. Investigating the dynamics between combining the mechanical with the Biological is a recurring conceptual direction that often reveals itself as the focal point throughout much of my work. Representing machines in a metaphorical or literal direction frequently shifts from piece to piece. In the form of schematic drawings, I am able to define the function and purpose of created elements that border between real objects and imaginary creations. By using different labeling systems to illustrate and organize an object, I am able to provide a commentary on a multitude of subjects while creating complex, purpose-driven machines.
