I am the Founder, Director, Racing Team Manager, Engineer, Pilot, and Mechanic of Écurie Marchal - a philosophical and meta-conceptual racing team of sculptures. Founded in Modena, Italy in 2008, and now operating out of New York, Écurie Marchal is a vessel for my obsession with precarity, speed, fantasy, brutality, and beauty. My sculptures exist in the slipstream between memory and color. I believe that every color we see becomes a feeling, and those feelings-if we let them-build the future from our past.
