spaceframes: 8 domestic fragments
    chinati foundation - artist-in-residence 2004
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.
