Civilization is always destroying the old to create the new and out of the rubble the new empire emerges. My work has evolved out of the rubble of my past failures - out the ruins of my previous work. I am interested in exploring the relationship between obsolescence and entropy through the use of waste and recycled materials. As the pace of technological advances increases so does the rate of obsolescence.
The society in which we live has high entropy and is losing energy. I want the viewer to question the function of functionless machines and what that implies in relation to modern society and its insatiable need for the new.
Since the dawn of civilization humans have used machines to make life easier. Will this reliance on machines be our downfall? Will we make machines that are autonomous? Will we make machines that destroy and create for us? Will they procreate for us and eventually for themselves?
