All the President’s Men - the concentric desks in the Library of Congress seemed like a newspaper conveyor belt breaking Nixon's Watergate. Departing from steel, materials included bicycle chain,
printer plates, brass, gimbaled
compass, foundry form,
and copper. Photo

Miniature worlds evoking nostalgia with a modern twist. Meticulously handcrafted vignettes made of welded steel and embedded with carefully curated vintage object fragments. Inspired by classic dystopian film and literature, and disallusioned by the parallels addressed in todays fraught yet recurring themes of the past.
Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin - original movie title) directed by Wim Wenders - inspired by a dream-like scene of an elderly man reminiscing of peaceful times while the angel, Cassiel, listens from the swiveling stool nearby. Materials: steel, marbles, brass lighting parts, miniature paper books, stainless steel mesh, and jewelry chain
