My two main inspirations are: 1) On November 26th, 1922, when Howard Carter, the Egyptologist, peered through a tiny hole into King Tut's tomb for the first time, his assistant asked him, Do you see anything? Yes, wonderful things, he replied. And 2) The photographs of the debris field around the Titanic- hundreds of manmade objects strewn about a landscape where man had never been. Timeless and mysterious, but enduring. –Artist statement
