THE ASTROOBJECTS

 

 

The AstroObjects are fantastical gadgets inspired by the building blocks of the universe: from atomic structure to solar systems. Recalling the polished brass complexity of antique astrological instruments, they are machines of unknown purpose. I’ve always been visually and conceptually drawn to the mechanical, and utilize gears both for their beauty as objects, and as symbols of purpose and potential. Every element of each sculpture is made entirely by hand (there are no found objects, no CNC or lasers) and the natural colors of each type of metal are arranged with purpose; gradating from “warm” copper, to “cool” steel (or the reverse). The titles are dictated by a key I created, detailed below.
