ARTIST STATEMENT (2005)

"I develop projects involving electronic circuits and mechanical devices. These are my attempts to explore and render the connections between the human condition, that is soul and psyche, and physical reality. My projects tend to dominate the sensed space they occupy. In this way they can be thought of as installations. They are not objects in a room, to be contemplated like a carving or a painting. They often require a dark room, as the work often involves the controlled use of light as part of a feedback loop or triggering medium. Artists and scientists both seek truth, and in doing so, discover new mysteries. Science relies mostly on reductive thinking. Artists live more in the realm of inspiration. I look for the poetry that can be found on the arc between the two." – M. E
