Statement

Incorporating low and high tech consumer appliances, motors with rotating plastic food, computer prints with thick paint dripping from them, fans cooling motors that overheat, cassette players with continuous sounds of television commercials and soap operas, toys that frown, smile or talk, to reveal the connection to a living work of blood and tissue.

"The primary focus for me is to connect the technology to our lives, to eliminate the barriers between flesh and silicon."
