I began carving Handhelds in 2004; during the rise of personal cell phones, MP3 players and USB memory sticks.  At that time, I was overloaded with hand-me-down electronics passed-on from my technophile father.  I accumulate obsolete electronics, saving them for their formal intrigue and nostalgic value.  The objects are tied to my experiences; they’ve traveled with me, entertained me, recorded my memories and filled the palm of my hand for years; I feel connected to them. Each year, I set time aside to sort through my collection of gadgets and carve some of my favourite things.
