My work is the result of a deep curiosity I have always had for the way things work, and why they were created. Much of my boyhood was spent experimenting with simple electrical circuits and science projects. I had thought about becoming a scientist but eventually chose architecture. I also worked for two years as a restorer on-board a World War Two submarine. These roles, while seemingly quite different, were all expressions of a curiosity about the world that eventually led me to sculpture.

I find my inspiration from sources such as utopian literature, the films of Jacques Tati, and the Encyclopedie Diderot--that 18th century compendium of all known technologies. My experiments delineate for me the distance that lies between the future we hoped for and what we ended up with. In my own way, I am trying to create in the present, the future that I think should have existed.
