I love the shape, design, “feel” of industrial objects.  I search these objects out at garage sales, flea markets, dumps, attics, construction sites and roadsides, add them to my collection and then get to know them.  In time their individual contours, textures, compositions suggest a whole – something new created from the found – that stands on its own as a complete system.  My WaterContraptions create soundscapes that afford relief from the urban hum, attract birds and their songs, provide self-sustaining plant habitats and “soften” any garden or home environment with the sight and sound of moving, falling water.  Each piece is completely one-of-a-kind, made to the order suggested by its reclaimed elements, held together by my tried and true “fountain plumbing” technique and made personal by the setting you provide.  Every WaterContraption also comes with a foolproof prescription for it’s new owner: Listen, watch, relax, repeat.
