Artist's Statement
Concrete and metal express strength and function in opposition to
ornamentation. My designs combine the aesthetic with the practical,
characterized by geometric shapes, straight lines, and neutral/primary
colors emphasizing my desire for simplification. Each item represents the
"absolute devaluation of tradition...the exposure of the whole swindle of
lyricism and sentiment...for clarity, for certainty, and for order." In my
work I try to evoke an ideal, logical society where all is reason.
