(or Embracing Failure)

It is important to me to make my projects functional as much as possible, although functionality per se is not my primary goal. I see my artwork as a process of realizing intentions, in which a “failure” (to function) is just another departure point into new ideas. In this sense I see my process of art making similar to the process of doing scientific experiments—they do not always have to be ‘successful.’ My objective is to induce different understanding through the creation of various platforms of interaction. It is the intention to fabricate meaningful habitation that is the driving force behind my works. I am aware that my artworks cannot provide all the answers to such complexities as living in the face of dwindling resources, environmental catastrophe, and social displacement, but I believe in the power of imagination and an anti-entropic role of art. I am equally inspired by the visionary works of Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, as well as modern inventors like Buckminster Fuller, who fused an imaginative sensibility with technical invention. I see my art practice as a bridge-building process between these two realms
