This body of work is rooted in architecture, formalism, geology, global warming and a future archeology.

Drawing For An Unmade Sculpture

16" x 11"

Graphite

There is a balanced conversation between two materials. One material is cut and built, while the other is poured in and around it. The layered castings bring to mind the slowly formed striations, entombing forgotten cities wave by wave. Fabricated wooden components imply long hidden pieces of modern architecture, a buried future. The organically deposited layers of processed gypsum are joined to the shaped wood pieces, both parts naturally formed and simultaneously manipulated by the human hand. These idealized figures suggest a tale of an upside-down world, a place of curious harmony, where the earth and ocean live upon our cities.
