"These box like sculptures provide insight into the spinning gears of the artist’s analogue clock. The use of science instruments, magnetism and poetic flowers dipped in wax all relate to the philosophy of communication through art. The interaction and dialogue of each of these pieces is essential in there completion.
The work is a reflection of the artist’s psyche, sometimes in challenge to the perceptions of reality. The found object which is taken out of its original context and encased is transformed to a new meaning, allowing the spectator/participant to complete the transfer and resolve the puzzle. "

 

The unseen forces of time, chance, magnetism, weathering and change combine themselves to manifest a phenomenon unavailable elsewhere to experience. The artist acts as director, allowing himself to put things together in his own way, peeling layer upon layer away of learned percetual habit to recovery, in recognizing the erosion of illness and formulating new structures based on simplicity of being.
