Artist Statement
My sculpture is directly linked to the notion of manifest destiny and fits into the scope of my work as the self-proclaimed ‘Leader of the Cult of the Endorphin.’ If you make an object from the world or logic of your imagination’s desire, then so might your world become!
If your work is designed to make you strong and satisfied, then this will be the reality. It could be said that this sculpture refers to a technological break down or a recycling/re-aligning of values that reveal more primitive forms of enjoyment. It could be said to be a resurrection or shadow of the concept of “glory days” in the meadow in the form of a Disco Tree.
