Statement

I imagine the universe seen by the Eglin FPS-85 radar, a building used by NASA to track orbital debris. Rooted to the ground, yet gazing toward the sky, this structure epitomizes the persistence and limitations of human exploration. In reality, this is a cluttered space: a rotating mass of metallic detritus, rocks, dust and information streams. Into it all, I project curiosity, and a desire to understand. Drawing provides the playfulness necessary to construct an imaginary universe where contrasting textures and patterns crowd and obstruct one another.

Driven by an investigation of the landscapes we inhabit, I merge fact and fiction to reveal the intrinsic symbolism of architecture. In my drawings, everything originates from the built form.
