Abstract

The juxtaposition of these shapes is not commonly encountered in nature. At the beginning, man fashioned his tools and implements from found objects, preserving much of their original organic form. Modern technology has made it possible to construct such items with a geometric precision that destroys this natural appearance. It has been my objective to create a compatible aesthetic compromise between the elements or nature and technology.
