Artist's Description
When I was a young man, I was sent to work in the middle of the night in a gear lab. I learned involute trigonometry and smelled of oil that would not wash out. The gears in question were used in turbine engines that went into airplanes. In time, my recondite education positioned me for bigger things in the company. That schooling instilled in me a sense of awe and admiration for any gear or cog I come across. I drag home parts from discarded bicycles or worn out sprockets from motorcycles. They have no use beyond my aesthetic love for them. I feel that they are so beautiful; they deserve to be displayed on the walls. Odd? Of course. There are worse things a man could do.

In an attempt to diffuse those kinds of accusations, regardless of how accurate they may be, I am writing this statement today. Each picture I make begins with a germ of an idea. I visualize how I...

My image of choice for PIF/V/F - 11/15/12 - William. I have always had a fascination with "how things work" - reminds me of a little kid who inspects, takes things apart, and attempts to put something back together - all for the pure joy of discovery. Liked the back story too. The link to gears on wikipedia is also interesting reading.

Thank you Ann! My interest in how things work is sparked with things get broken. I'm the first to begin disassembly; )

Thanks Kate, Funny thing, when I took it I wasn't trying to do anything special. It was just one of those things that I found interesting and wanted to look at it again at leisure when I got home. The happy accident is alive and well!
