I make sculptural instruments and devices which function either actually, or metaphorically.  Often created for use in a specific location or inspired by a particular historical account, their meticulous craftsmanship lends them authority as functional objects, but upon inspection may seem quite absurd, fetishistic, alchemical, or otherwise uncanny. Their elusive, esoteric function tickles curiosity and speculation. 

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.
