Chess Sets
I learned how the pieces move in December 2020, playing mostly online. I started making chess sets soon after, because I wanted to play over-the-board games. My artwork is often about connections, and investigations into the way in which things work or don’t work mechanically, and in human relationships. I am fascinated by how the chess pieces must work together or be doomed to fail.
