In 2013, I created The Coincidence Clock, 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 unified 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 our innate interconnectedness with 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 the universe.
As a frenetic enthusiast, I examine the simultaneous flows that shape the natural world, embracing all energetic forces as more than arbitrary occurrences. Repeated formations emerge—echoes of patterns found across vastly different circumstances—revealing an underlying coherence. For me, coincidental connections transcend deliberate design, offering glimpses into the impermanence and mystery of existence. Each work seeks to reconcile the tension between flux and stasis, chaos and order, nature and culture. Institutional systems bound by function stand in contrast to the unstoppable forces of nature—forces that no matter how powerful civilization deems itself, we are unable to control.
