Artist Statement:

In this body of work, Stone alters and re-purposes five obsolete mechanical devices. Each device in the series significantly contributed to reengineering the conditions of everyday life and anticipated the changes associated with digital technologies. Stone’s alterations destabilize the meaning of the original objects. The viewer is drawn into a conversation about change and renewal through the disruption of place, time, and intention, and points to the objects and concepts left behind.
