A human scale abstraction of the famous Saturn V rocket. It functions as a bottle cabinet. Three coopered barrels are connected with turned stage connections.
Cherry, Hardware. 168”x 12”
Pine Slab with turned walnut legs; an abstraction of the surface of the moon was CNC’d into the surface using topographic data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Mahogany coopered barrel with dovetail keyed fins. I was obsessed with SpaceX and reusable rockets, well before… ya know. This is a scale model of the “Hopper” rocket after its first successful flight, before it evolved into “Starship.”
How can we touch Mars here on Earth? It is an amazing thought to consider that 50 years after landing on the moon, we are sending only a chosen few to live and die millions of miles away within the next decade. This cabinet can’t explore far away worlds, but it can instead trigger the imagination of us at home.
My very first cabinet! Moving to New York City at the age of six, on my birthday I received my first IPod in the same year. This little device, a sandbox of disparate music, carried me through years of commuting back and forth between divorced parents, tuning out an overwhelming world.
Where do these discarded companions live if not in a landfill or a cluttered drawer? This cabinet functions as a reliquary for these items, perhaps even a coffin, for memories fragmented but not forgotten.
Walnut, Plywood, Hardware. CNC’d Subway pattern. Woodburned Subway token.
Made only with a 9/16ths round chisel, this block of poplar quickly took the form of a phone. Constantly harassed by a buzzing in my pocket, phones are on my mind. They are a fixture in this digital age. This phone is great to play with, satirizing the seriousness attachment to our digital sidekicks.
