Man has invented tools such as the Mars Exploration Rovers and the For Dummies book series to understand his universe. I make ad hoc abstractions of these tools to explore my universe. Crystalline forms, Satellites, and the Mars Rovers are templates for drawings and sculptures. For Current Awareness, I painted an idealized version of the plywood beneath on the surface of the sculpture. This faux finish shifts our values and tweaks our perceptions. An LCD monitor, a live security camera, and mirrored Plexi-glass are embedded in the form. Exploration, discovery, and beauty are abstracted through multi-faceted kaleidoscopes.
