Artist Statement:

The intention in this series of work is to pay homage to our most primary of tools – the human hand, foot, and head. The delicate and complex anatomy of our collective feet, hands, and heads, and their transcendent efficacy in relation to early tool development and usage, their gestural communicative capacities, and their potency as primal tabulation and measuring devices, gives them a signification that I find fecund with metaphorical meaning and energy. Our rarely examined soles/souls and their evolutionary relationship to the world of high technology are an ongoing source of wonderment and contemplation.
