Nuts

F ound at the base of a skinny water tower in Blackwater, Missouri, a series of these nuts and bolts hold the structure upright. Layered fabrication can construct a wide variety of sculptural objects. These items embody the realistic and the abstract depending on individual interpretation.

“For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
