The Coincidence Clock is a sculptural instrument that merges Geocentric and Heliocentric models of the universe with charts of eclipses and other astronomical events to reveal the time periods when coincidences are most likely to occur. This geometric structure serves as both a guide and a relief, affirming a connection I have long sensed between celestial phenomena and the rhythms of my own life. Through this work, I sought to give visual form to that elusive relationship between cosmic events and human experience.
As technology offers tools for progress, I also see it as a force that distances us from the natural world. I choose not to engage in social media for this reason. There is no way I could have uncovered the patterns revealed over a 25-year period amid the noise of digital life. Today’s engines bombard us with a logarithmic illusion of connection, all the while we overlook genuine signals from the greater whole. Our devices demand that we expose our inner lives while blinding us to the signs in nature that point toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe.
I’m actively working on drawings, works on paper and paintings in my studio just outside NYC. My website is being updated currently.
