| About the Artist |
My work is about questions. I question the Universe, I question the physical world, I even question the viewer themselves. Though not necessarily answering them, I prefer to provide the spectator with conceptual and visual information which may or may not lead them to the premise of the work. I am inspired by everything which I find fascinating. |

Moon Rock
2007 25 x 20 x 17 |
|
Here I present a piece of Moon Rock as a scientific curiosity. This piece revolves around a leap of faith the viewer must take. The 'Moon Rock' is actually a piece of Basalt pumice from Naples. Compostionally however, Moon Rock and Pumice are comprised of much the same elements, so it's only half an untruth. |
