Haley's work is interesting in how it has evolved organically over time to take on more meanings than what he originally intended. Simple methods like like using heavy machinery with recycled materials to create organic shapes somehow pushed him towards new meanings; his white pieces he said represent glaciers and how these washing and drying machines that he makes his art with represent the waste that our society deems acceptable. His other work dealt with mathematical constants like pi and e and how he could interact with them and create 3d structures with them, which didn't quite have the depth of meaning that his other pieces had but still exhibited an interest in the seemingly simple yet complicated nature of our world. Why does a number like 3.1415 dictate such a huge amount of complicated processes and geometrical surfaces? Why do numbers like e show up in nature no matter how deep we look into the structure of any given organism? These are questions worth exploring, yet I'm not sure we will ever really know.
