Non-Verbal

This piece started out as a study in the merging of man and machine. During the process, however, I reflected on the lack of relationship between myself and my now deceased father. That aspect was healed before his death, but I still think of my 3 sons, and want to make sure our communication is healthy and clear. Mechanical objects and pursuits can help to serve as a bond between dads and sons, and in some cases, I'm sure it's the only means of that bond.
