About my work

A strong motivation for invention and personal interest in science and technology drive my art. Most of my artwork - installations with kinetic elements, sculptures, paintings and drawings - reflect this passion. So does the process I go through creating it which incorporates experimenting with casting materials, different solvent types and color mixtures and integrating motors into everyday objects.

Many objects used in the artwork I find in my local environment.  This tendency draws from my previous occupation in the Environmental Industry, the scientific and technical education I’ve received and from the heritage of my father who maintained an impressive collection of objects, equipment and tools for his photography and fishing hobbies. I find myself routinely examining and collecting items from household waste piles, altering their original purpose to create a new functionality or motion. For example, installing servo-motors on a discarded mechanism of toilet flush tank or kitchen gloves to create a kinetic sculpture. 

Though the underlying motion mechanism is usually visible, I’d like the viewers of my artwork to feel fascination and enchantment by realizing the installation’s nature, its repeated or random movement, the meditative state or the sensations and associations it evokes. 

A myriad of technologies and tools are at the hands of artists today. Be it video mapping, casting materials or 3D- printing, I'm curious to experience and utilize this abundance in order to revive and re-use found objects and use new working and processing techniques.  An ideal creation, for me, would be one that involves a chemical reaction, a physical phenomenon or a mechanical system which attracts the visitor to approach, examine, and linger in front of it for a few minutes while retrieving an un-written statement.
