Machine Age Noir- These pieces are a part of a greater concept that incorporates machine age artifacts into a symbolic flower garden. This flower garden is representative of our continuing growth in technology and our removal from nature. Using Machine Age (1880-1945) artifacts from the century that really started the great shift towards technology is the soul of this concept. This functional lighted piece is also a wonderful play on light and shadow which is another underlying theme of my work in general. I call it Machine Age Noir.
