The work deals with thresholds and contradictions: between materials, between the rational and the intuitive, the dynamic and the passive, the functional and the non.

It involves the constraints brought on by the shifting from a low to a mid-technology; when the round-bottomed vessels that we nestled in the sand floors of our caves don’t sit well on the flat tables of our drawing rooms.

A question of balance comes into play with the rocking, hinged, opening, or interlocking pieces which are free to move but don’t unless motivated.

The addressing of those ironies becomes the point of balance…
