I believe that art should never be static. Instead, I engage my audience by creating moments of wonder through the combination of kinetics, performance and interactivity. By inviting the viewer to experience  my work, I can share the same excitement  I feel when I make a piece. Works such as D.R.I.P.S. (Downward Running Intermixing Paint System) and Colors to Life capture the ephemera moment of creation as residual mark. Each tool I use leaves its unique fingerprint on the end product, and I consider these marks to be clues that reveal information about the formation of the piece. By looking at art this way, the process of creating art and the action of making becomes as important as the finished piece itself.
