A method of control is something I am always pursuing through both my work and my experience. I believe this approach results in my work addressing a broader context than an initial intent to solve a problem. It is ambiguous and ephemeral. An object means nothing to me without the space it occupies, the physical manipulation it employs, or the spectacle it addresses. Often it is not the object itself, but the residual environment that I find successful. When I can see within a piece something more than the material it exploits or the concept behind which it was conceived, I can honor its success. My functional work lies in the heart of materialism. I understand the desire for beautiful things, but I am not a maker of precious objects. I often think about the future condition of the things I create. I know they will not be precious forever. Addressing the death of the object is as important as experiencing the life it is given. I believe my work reflects this concern. Nothing is permanent.

My objects are transitory.
