Art / projects / mediums
Art projects.
Each piece has a history: a story of how and why it came into existence. Each medium became a new learning experience: how does it behave, what does it resist, what does it make possible? That is the engineer's approach to art. Copying, studying, experimenting, and then putting my own twist on the medium became the general idea.
