"For an artist who has moved so openly and alertly in the region between art, design, craft, and technology, this recent work summons a significant new chapter. These pieces reflect ideas that are directly, explicitly, and unmistakably about what it means to make something through a radical transformation of materials in actual and implied motion. Determined and accidental, premeditated and equivocal, substantial and unsettled, confident and speculative, these intrepid works produced in the apex of art, industry, independent thinking, and material transformation offer striking evidence of the potential of a new form of culture – and a new culture of forms."
