Through work that combines the organic with the manufactured, he questions our position between the man-made world that we control and nature’s world that we do not.

These complex works are fabricated from up to 7000 metal pipe and rod elements, in 30 different diameters, are assembled through the rigorous tasks of cutting, bending, tacking, welding, grinding and polishing.
