For each new assemblage, I start with a clear idea and the parts and pieces that I specifically fabricate for the work. Yet a spontaneous “design and build” process is progressively driving my experience in the studio. I aim to open new opportunities as the fragments interact with each other and, as well, with the chaos that usually ensues. While engaging in this process, I work to orchestrate a personalized and animated sense of wholeness. jsk
