The concepts of time and discovery are the fundamental issues I am dealing with in this series of sculptural work.
Selecting found objects, specifically machine made, I have fused mechanical textures with human forms cast from life resulting in the creation of cyborgs. The skin has eroded in areas to reveal mechanical systems analogous to the internal workings of the body.
