I am working on some new work for an upcoming solo show this summer. I usually start with a concept and design a mechanism that will help me convey my idea. This assemblage is for a piece about retelling stories to preserve a memory or idea. Many times I disassemble old pieces and re-use the parts. All of the components should serve the overall mechanism, with nothing superfluous. The process can be involved, but rewarding when everything is finally in motion.
