photography and painting
Thinking about the nature of space and light, photography explores observations, ideas, and supports curiosity. Expressing the experience of the moment, what is seen and not seen, or the sensation of a material becomes the subject of the image.
Painting, like photography, can be a 2 dimensional representation of space and light, but it can also be purely about the material and light itself. These explorations in paint rarely result from the pre-planned intention but rather are born in the moment. Their gestural quality has certainly influenced some of the architectural spaces in the work.

“We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation. There is no individual thing, no compulsion, outward nor inward, no law. It is the germinal nothing, in which the whole universe is involved or foreshadowed. As such, it is absolutely undefined and unlimited possibility -- boundless possibility. There is no compulsion and no law. It is boundless freedom.”
Charles S. Peirce, "Logic of Events" (1898)

The beauty in making things is inevitably supplanted by entropy. There is also beauty in entropy as light and form take new positions. In this case, the entropy was economic as the value of the land far exceeded the value of the architecture.
