Ganson describes himself as a cross between an engineer and a choreographer, and he uses his innate mechanical abilities to produce fantasy. Unlike most artists, Ganson's work is not intended to make a particular statement: "I feel very strongly that the pieces need to stand on their own. I'm not interested in intellectual sculpture that needs to be explained to be understood." Instead, Ganson frees viewers' imaginations by producing machines with expressive and individual personalities based on the artist's observations of human nature.
