About
As a student of art history (among other things - I may have had more majors than I had apartments in university) I struggled to understand why we value physical things (art, objects, buildings), why the material world is so instinctively important to us as human beings when we know intellectually that it will all eventually turn to dust.
My undergraduate studies, being drawn to the artists and architects of the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, began to foster an awareness of the potential relationships that can exist between the world of ideals and the beauties within the physical.
These artists/architects used their respective mediums to illustrate their beliefs about human nature and the world around them. For them, physical objects were both a way of making their values manifest and a means of working through these concepts. Understanding their approaches helped me to see that focusing on the physical is totally reconcilable with a higher purpose when things are created with intention, and in an exploration of deeper meaning.
Having completed my Masters degree in Architecture in 2022, in some ways a culmination of a decades worth of intense explorations in a broad (and at times seemingly inconsistent) range of materials, mediums, scales, and content, I am working now to realize how my work will unfold through the built environment.
