Artist Statement

I like to make things that other people think are “cool”. I like other people to make things that I think are “cool”.

I think the choice of “rules” is crucial for a work of art. I strive to be conscious of the “rules” that I am working with. A few of the “rules” of the pieces in front of you are as follows:

1. The piece must produce sound.
2. The piece must function as visual art.
3. The piece must be made primarily from recycled materials.
4. The piece must be made utilizing relatively low-tech techniques.

There is something about good art that strives to transcend categories that are later imposed on it. I value integrity and originality, in my work, and in the work of others.
