Nature and Technology: The evolution of both, combined, make for interesting visual dynamics. Discarded metals utilized in a graphic representation of an imaginary scenario, and incorporating almost robotic like creatures in three dimensions creates an almost possible situation. Ancient rock becomes modern metal, becomes rusted metal, becomes part of earth again. In such a way nature and technology are invariably the same, cycles repeated. By combining various materials in the creatures sometimes have surprising results. The story behind each piece evolves whilst each piece is made.
