Observing and making.

Overlap between the world of ideas & intent (the abstract) and the push & pull of material and immaterial forces (the concrete).

Featured work shows examinations of materials on hand, zoo animals, and ideal forms. A designer’s eyes must be open wide since discoveries are routinely made by just seeing what is already there, or, by recognizing what should be there but isn’t (an anomaly).

Anticipation —designing an interval after which a specific action happens

Observation & description —a fresh take on inhabitation

Spacing —the influence of shape and material
