Fabricated metal++fabricated person= fabricating reality<(day)dreaming
Yeah, well, guess I just been thinkin a lot about the soundtrack of my dreams and where it all happens,, thinkin about lineage and where it all comes from— I used to play the cello when I was younger, so I was inspired by the f-holes in the instrument,, it’s what you see in the center of the headboard__ it all connects, daydreamin n’ listening to music= in my own world, and in my dreams I’ll hear songs, different languages too, and see everyone I’ve ever known… haha just kidding, not everyonee. That’s some background,, a lotta this was improv, just starin at the thing and playing around until I found what felt right—- yeah lot of welding, heat treatment (bent everything with pilers and FIRE), gridning, sanding, I mean, you can see that, so yeah— moving on, __ in my own,, in the “house” it’s a safe place—- the bedframe of the headboard is small, you have to be in fetal position, it’s the position of dreams and safety__\ translating language &&material, playing with negative space, alladat,,,,, it’s funny fabricating metal is such a controlled practice but dreams aren’t/// usin round and square rods, playin with curves and straight lines, —- call it duality, call it being a gemini, call it two sides of everything— From the words of others, the bedframe itself is very whimsical yet threatening// it feels like a teenage dream, like a drawing// and the patina colors the steel with traces of human element// Okay that’s about it, I will c U laterrrrr,, in my dreamz, or in the real life… whichever one I love to see you around***zzZzZzzzz
