"Wondrous" Automatons and Sculpture at Studio DDLA

I am delighted to announce that my Solo Show Wondrous - Automatons and Sculpture will be opening at Studio DDLA at 944 Chung King Road Los Angeles, CA on March 7th, 5 pm to 9 pm.

In my work, I combine Victorian-era invention and surrealism, crafting mechanical creatures and figures that come to life through the magic of found machinery. Each sculpture tells its own story, a blend of vintage charm and unsettling oddity, as if the imagination of Jules Verne collided with the bizarre beauty of mechanical life.

Through my kinetic assemblages, I breathe life into discarded gears, forgotten tools, and relics of the past, transforming them into endearing yet grotesque creations that whir, tick, and glide with purpose. My work captures the quirky essence of vintage toy automatons and the eerie sentience of uncanny dolls, drawing inspiration from the forgotten machinery of a bygone era.

Each piece is a self-contained theater of motion, where nostalgia meets innovation in a dance of mechanical wonder. My sculptures don’t simply invite the viewer in—they seduce them into an ongoing dream of whimsy and mystery, where the boundary between past and future, life and inanimate, is deliciously blurred.

For collectors, galleries, and lovers of steampunk and vintage-driven, three-dimensional art, my sculptures are an immersive experience in mechanical beauty. Explore the strange and captivating world I've created, where every movement tells a story.
