About the Artwork

Machines as metaphors: The exploration of connectivity in the human experience. Whether operating independently or engaging with others, the pipes, hoses, vents, and ducts on display function in kind to the human condition.

In both cases, it’s the system that is compromised when the parts are ill-fitting. This work reveals the truth that adaptability, vigilant recalibration, and collaboration result in cooperative relationships which produce the greatest output. The composition, materials, and visual mood vary from piece to piece, which mirrors the uniqueness of the human experience.
