Early explorations of ‘the machine’
created between 1993 and 1997.

I was intrigued with things having reality
or force while lacking inherent physicality,
like language, ideas and ‘culture’, things
animated through deployment, otherwise
immobile or non-existent.

In the foundry, I was experimenting
with strategies of projecting ideas into
physical form, interested in metalwork
as a language that can durably embody
the immaterial, temporal, conceptual or
ephemeral.
