Presenting a body of works consisting of three kinetic sculptures, or a sequence of perpetual actions: finding is in the center, searching is in the circumference, finding is in the center,. The machines, or tools, interact with geological objects and converse with them as a body would; both or either from the maker's desire to remove their body from an action, and/or of the machine's capability to do it more precisely and efficiently. They are embodying a curiosity and contemplation of time and movement, of its residual, the small, “smallness to as when we attend to the infinite divisibility of matter […] and the still diminishing size of existence.” (Edmund Burke, A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful).
