"When I look at photos of early attempts at aviation, I find those fantastical machines that didn't fly the most interesting; imaginative and naïve in design, their snake-oil salesman brand of engineering ensured these machines were doomed to fail. Yet, I can't help but wonder about all of the little bits and not so small parts, so optimistically and delicately crafted with loving hands. These parts standing alone would surely look a little lost, but when created with such deliberateness of form, they signify for the viewer, the knowledge that there must be a particular use for such an object, even if one isn't quite sure what that purpose may be.
My aim is to create sculptures that represent those lost parts and pieces, without being so specific as to recreate an object that could be located in a certain time or place. Rather, I wish to build forms on the edge of recognition, forms that conjure a space between fact and fiction, past and present."
