This work is essentially a giant 12 tipped syringe that is kinetic.   A hydraulic looking device is pulling a lever at on end of the device as if it is going to inject all twelve tips into the body.  The device appears to be frustrated in its attempt to complete its function as the hydraulic arm never completes its cycle.

This piece has 80 syringes attached to the belly of the machine.  Each syringe is printed with its own unique label that describes different aspects of a relationship that is vital for its existence yet is quite often not talked about or given credit.

“80 LBS.”

This work is based on a love / hate relationship with a morphine drip.  Being connected to a device that dispenses pleasure yet to receive the pleasure you have to be connected to the machine.

This work is almost a historical document of when my wife was connected to the machine.

This work is also a figurative documentation of a moment in time where the machine became a partner in the relationship I had with my wife.   This piece is also kinetic at a small glass syringe strokes in and out at 13 strokes per minute.
