The Orbit mobiles were born of an investigation in to my childhood desire to become an astronaut. They tap in to the collective fascination of exploring the unknown. While utilizing found and collected objects, Orbit speaks of boundless possibility tethered to the human condition. They are time machines made of heat, debris and memory, protective forms housing delicate interiors. They are the toys of our theories circling the same dogmas over again until understanding expands, and we perceive a whole new universe. The form the mobiles take reference early astronomical and navigational equipment circa the 13th-19th centuries. They are frequently combined in to an installation with paintings and assemblage works from the Atomo and Anima series
