“Woodworking projects are almost always born of necessity and necessities lead to creative opportunities. I am always trying to make a machine that runs randomly. That kind of chaos, is hard to find. That is what I’m trying to do with my woodwork— I’m trying to tame chaos.”
Mike Lagg likes to stretch these boundaries of functional aesthetics with impractical and insane imagination.
