My professional career was in engineering. I have been told that my work looks somewhat industrial, which I suppose is something that I am trying to achieve. I’m attracted to shapes that suggest something mechanical but also partly organic, made to look like found-object but not literally; original and well-formed but not pieced together from found things. I like clean lines, curvature, abstraction and the suggestion of something familiar but not exactly the thing itself. I like the "pop" of recognition when I see a nice piece on someone, especially when it is not exactly what I first think it is
