Artist, Designer, Educator

We live in the world abundant with material objects that are in a constant state of motion. Since
childhood, I have always been interested in moving objects such as toys and foldable furnitures. I
also became interested in the shape, design and contours of moving objects. As my interest in
this subject increased, I realized the pleasure and enjoyment that people would gain to see
moving objects having artistic and functional components to enhance the shape, contours and
motion of those objects. In an eort to enhance and bring to life the sense of touch regarding
these objects and enhance their visual stimulation, I concentrated on developing and
sharpening that juxtaposition in my art work.
The concept of art work with moving parts became most enjoyable in the process of developing
and diversifying art with actual physical objects. The intention of the movements has been to
provide both visual stimulation and satisfaction of the feel while operating with hands by giving
enjoyment to my metal work. That enjoyment and touch developed into the theme of my art
work and that process became a resource of my art work, artistic creativity and practical
ingenuity.
