The machines are created because they are a natural integration of my innate abilities and passions. The act of working is, in essence, play and the machines that result are the byproducts of these moments. I am moved by many challenges: engineering, figuring things out, and imagining ways to manipulate materials. Little bits of wire, motors, or things that I encounter in my daily life are assembled into systems that physically move, and thereby are animated with a kind of “life-energy”.

The process is important and the resulting machines are what is left over. There is no goal. There is no over-reaching direction. There is no separation between the making of machines and my life as a whole.
