This is an inherently classical concern, utilizing robotics as an enabling technology.

In looking towards new languages, I have returned to elemental symbols. The Cathedral. The Bone. The Mountain. A triptych. A trinity. The sculptural languages of Moore and Brancusi elucidate the relation of these parts.

Cognitive scientists often view environmental stimuli as signs which trigger complex cascading activity patterns within the mind. These infantile patterns are based on evolutionary stresses. From this primal structure more complex relations and patterns develop. And within the human ontogeny, social stresses crystallize internally into novel and powerful patterns. The most human urges lurking in our subconscious arise from these activity patterns.

I believe that great works of art intuitively work on this subconscious level of the human mind, serving as complex signs which in turn trigger these activity patterns, creating that visceral and acute awareness of ones existence.

My work deals with a fundamental aspect of artistic endeavor: the human condition embedded within a socio-historical framework.
