WILBUR builds mechanical SUPERMACHINES.
They are constructed mentally, then taken apart on the table.
The work is translating that structure into physical reality.
Time is displayed because it has to be.
The work lives in the moment, the architecture, the demands placed on every part.
These are built to be experienced before they are understood.
Each machine begins as a physical problem.
It gets drawn, built, adjusted, rebuilt.
Elements are redesigned when they fail or when the composition loses tension.
Prototypes leave marks.
Finished pieces carry those decisions forward permanently.
The same hands that shape these machines have always been occupied.
Objects get taken apart.
Ideas get tested in materials that fight back.
The work continues
across mediums. The obsession doesn’t stop at one form.
Some people recognize the intent immediately.
They recognize when something has been pushed past the comfortable answer.
They recognize a commitment that stands on its own.
They see a system and understand it without needing it explained.
Time is a restriction placed on the work.
It does not flow.
It interrupts.
Time must assert itself.
This is time untamed.
