Contained within my work are serial arrangements and architectonic constructions. Whether composed of variable units in real space or networks on paper, rules are decided and a system developed from many parts. Much is taken from popular printed material (magazines, books, advertisements and packaging), where each element carries some of its previous meaning, language, and history. Excised from its original source, a fragment is combined with others to create a subjective framework, rooted in the process of collecting and cataloging. Other material, from thread spools to raffle tickets, transcend their mundane purpose, forming the skeleton of a unique, nuanced structure. The scale consistently remains within the range of the architectural model and occupies the peculiar place of simultaneously being thoroughly complete and merely an unrealized prototype of something quite monumental. Though modestly scaled and constructed of simple, familiar materials, the subjects remain quite large and universal. These are (though aren’t limited to) suburban/urban sprawl, environmental and climatic change, and the precarious state of world government.
