My art practice shifts
between creating drawings and building site-specific installations. In both
formats, perception is filtered through transparency, accretion of materials,
choreography of movement and participation. Drawings on translucent paper take
on abstract characteristics of architecture and landscape schema. They
articulate spatial relationships or systems that mirror the intricacy of the
interior body. Looking at them, you see through the surface, sensing a place
remembered or imagined. Map-like, their scale and delicate materials demand
intimacy and time. Aspects of these drawings are starting points for three
dimensional built environments in which you can walk – explore – respond.
Translucent scrim walls demark space for sitting and interaction. An enveloping
atmosphere reduces exterior awareness and provokes a gestalt of participation:
writing, marking, tracing, thinking in silence and unexpected calm.
