No Reward For Good Behavior One of the things that impresses me most in other people is seeing someone passionately engaged in a fruitless activity. When someone is obsessed with something even though there is no benefit, whether selfish or altrusitic, other than the simple feeling of participating in the action, I feel a kindred spirit. In many ways, my art-making is an absurd obsession; the resultant object aside, the process is the most important, yet irrational, activity in my life. And so, many of the sculptures I make are not only products of that paradox, but expressions of it. No Reward for Good Behavior, an overly-complex machine containing weeks-worth of fabricating and finishing, accomlishes a tiny, ridiculous task: walking these small figures around in a circle. And yet I am proud to have made something so nonsensical: there is so much forced meaningfulness out there. Sometimes one needs a break.
