"There is an underlying language in the design of the things that surround us. This allows us to form new structures and tell new stories when we manipulate or juxtapose them to each other. What's fun for me is to try to find some personality or create a narrative from a pile of inanimate objects. Something familiar that transforms when placed in a new light."
