Arthur Ganson, Untitled Fragile Machine

Long before making sculpture I dreamed of being a surgeon. The challenge of working so carefully with my hands was satisfied by the creation of very fragile machines. A machine with no utilitarian purpose, this is as close to drawing or painting as I can get. After giving myself a starting point, the machine grew organically. The actions and movement of parts are meaningfully trivial.

    love Arthur Ganson. I’ve always loved machinery and oil and art and fragility and things people make
