spaceframes: 8
domestic fragments

Fabricated
during an artist-in-residency at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa,
Texas - these eight spaceframes create experience. Employing architectural
fragments: hollow core doors, laminated 2x4s, and door peep-holes
each composition employs a choreographed view (orchestrated by
the viewfinder) through a three-dimensional architectural fragment,
arriving at the two-dimensional shallow projected composition.
The eight spaceframes investigates a variety of fragments from
domestic life: entry, conversation, storage, work, watch, sleep,
eat, bathe. Each of the fragments is intended to be viewed alone
and then stitched together through the sightline. Exploring the
spatial and phenomenological aspects of these components each
piece isolates to precisely articulate its identity. A process
sketchbook accompanies each of the spaceframes. It contains conceptual,
developmental and fabrication drawings that aid in the interpolation
of the instillation. The fabrication is not a representation of
experience but the experience itself. |
