geometry, such a semi-organic apparatus may have a rather violent character,
tempered at times by a sentimental strain. Inevitably, the WOODEN ROBOT
appears at the wrong time -- far too late, or far too early.
Formally alluding to cubist features, many works of the WOODEN ROBOTS series
evoke the utopian courage of past artistic endeavors. The artists of the modern
avant-garde postulated the creation of the unheard-of New. Such heroic gestures,
however, have long given way to rather funny moves.
Besides, the WOODEN ROBOTS reference a looming nostalgia for a lost era, an
imagined life in a pre-digital realm where machines still could be trusted to be dumb
and comprehensible.
