This is the very first piece of this type of work, created way back in 1994. When I was making it, I really didn't know what I was making, or how it would come out. When it was finished, I felt like this thing I stumbled upon was something I could make more of, and expand upon. I finally discovered a type of artwork that combines my primitive style of carving, my love for assembling and working with wood, my sort of folk art/naivete way of painting, my skill for making things look old (aging), and my fascination for mechanisms. The combination of all these form something I think is truly unique and is all me. This is still my favorite piece.
