Covet, Obtain, Preserve This recent body of work is about desire. It is about how and what we desire. We covet what we can’t have, are told we are unable to obtain, we want things we do no need and we want what others have. The claw machine is a metaphor for wanting something only because we are told there is no way to obtain it. By figuring out the mechanics of the machine I feel that I have won something special simply because you are not supposed to be able to get anything out of that game. Then I preserve my winnings as if they are important, when if I had $2.00 I would never have purchased a cheap stuffed animal in the first place.
