Around 2016 I made a simple machine consisting of a coffee table with a wig
and a hairbrush taped onto a motorized arm. The sculpture would brush its
own hair continuously, and the hair would quickly turn from soft and shiny
to a horrible tangled mess. This became a way for me to explore my
relationship to my own psyche, my obsessions and involuntary tics which
much like the wig machine has rendered a small part of my scalp completely
bald. Since then I have been using the medium of mechanics as a way of
dealing with the universally complicated experience of managing the human
body, how we perceive ourselves, notions of autonomy and the nagging terror
of not having full control over one's own body and mind. There is an
inherently novel quality in animatronics which I use to my advantage,
and through this I am able to approach complex topics with an absurdist
lightness. I am deeply interested in psychology, magic, puppetry, technology
and myths, shame, humor, loneliness, longing and dread.
