This body of work is driven by an innate curiosity about space and the built environment. Heavily influenced by architecture, the work is designed to celebrate structure and form and to provide an interactive experience for the viewer. By engaging the naïve and vulnerable understanding we have about the physical world, I create forms that are tangible anomalies and inspire further investigation as the viewer tries to make sense of each piece’s divisions and contradictions.
In the “form drawings”, each piece depicts a form consisting of elements that evoke dimensionality as well as moments that flatten the image. The incoherent overlapping of lines generates a shape that blurs the boundary between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional. While the viewer tries to make sense of the form as a structural object, the nature of the drawing fights back to remind us that it in fact has no volume.
This conception of my sculptural work is fundamentally about the way we experience space. The installation exhibits perspectival and structural oddities that influence the perceptual process. The goal is to present a dynamic visual experience that maintains a solid structural presence and engages the way we see volume by exploring basic properties such as line, balance, and repetition.
