This piece unapologetically expresses such personality and habits. I define the changes in my attitude for the subjects of my apathy in four phases:

  1. Problem created. Apathetic.
  2. Problem sometimes comes up in mind. Still apathetic.
  3. Finally starting to worry about the problem. Strive to find a solution.
  4. Give up.

For example, this shows when I travel. Most people
first select a destination and plan ahead for the things
to do there. I look for things to do one day before
the departure

With my work I reference the body and
function filtering through the lens of my imagination to become something new. Gestalt psychology influences how I design, build, and display my work. I consider
the relationships between objects and the implied interactions that give the viewer the ability to create a narrative with how they connect the dots. I question the objects we surround ourselves with and how we interact with the world; through this questioning I create surreal spaces that provide opportunity to come to a new understanding of how we exist in space.

Once finished they become fetish objects in and of themselves and the master shape from which variable molds are made. These molds are then used to cast from. This process speaks to the multiple and the infinite variations that a shape can become when cloned and manipulated/combined with others of a similar method.

I love these tools so much that I have no choice but to abuse them. This glutinous abandon to hide technique has become its own process. Now the means to the end has become the end itself. The result is ultimately overbearing and obnoxious, but beautifully so. I want to apply this strategy to a (re)brand new history. This new hyper-history has the privilege of fixing the mistakes of its predecessor, allowing it to be cleaner and more easily consumable.
