I think about how the workforces\u2019 relationship to their machinery lacks heartfelt conscious reflection. Personality and machinery are often separate. I challenge this, making work that shows how humanity, personal identity and machinery can be a reflection of one another. Human sexuality and machine movements are similar in their dynamics and relationships. In my latest body of work, I use my lathe to produce phallic objects that explore gender queer motifs relating to the machinery I work with and my own sexual expression. My work sifts through old places in our culture.Factories that have seen many years and parts made.<\/p>\n<p>After attending Pratt Institute for sculpture, I received my Machinist Certificate from Housatonic College in Bridgeport CT. My interest in machine work is the catalyst for how I understand the world. Time was always an interest that I would express in mechanical terms. Eventually I began making clocks out of aluminum discs. Then I was in the group exhibition, Horology at Jack Hanley Gallery in 2019. My studio is in Brooklyn, NY, where I have a machine shop to produce my work. Crossdressing is something I have been getting into lately. Exploring femininity has been very expansive for my work. I am more in touch with who I am, which is inspiring me to make work that I\u2019ve never made before.<\/p>\n<div>Note &#8211; here is the link to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newreleasegallery.com\/decameron1\/\">online show<\/a> mentioned in the interview.<\/div>\n<div>Also, here is a link to <a href=\"http:\/\/traumawien.at\/stuff\/theory\/duchamp-marcel_the_afternoon_interviews.pdf\">the book mentioned<\/a> in the interview.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10331\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10331 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Aqueous-1-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aqueous (May 2020)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10332\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10332\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10332 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-960x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-960x1024.jpg 960w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-768x819.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-1440x1536.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-1921x2048.jpg 1921w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-696x742.jpg 696w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-1068x1139.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BottleButtPlugs01-394x420.jpg 394w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bottle Butt Plugs\u00a0(April 2020)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/interview\/HarryMoritz.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listIn my work, I use manufacturing to reflect on human-machine dynamics, sexuality and gender queerness.
