Repurposing a piece of functional art was my purpose. I converted a carbon fiber wing element from Michael Andretti’s Swift Indycar chassis into a unique and extremely modern shelf utilizing authentic under tray stays and mounts from the same car, conceptualized while employed @ Swift Engineering as part of the team that designed & fabricated many INDYcar racing chassis, including Michael Andretti’s.

This Piece was at the forefront of my realization that I was an artist.
