I'm interested in the feelings that materials generate in us through the use of our senses. The rhythm and motion is calming to me, like a bell tolling in a distant town while out for a walk on a sunny day. The materials on the other hand are coarse, hard, unforgiving and cold. The visual tension is stressful but the rhythmic strumming is hypnotic. I have been interested lately in combining as many senses into my work as possible with elements of sound, motion and texture. How do these materials and their combination make you feel?
