My work combines a spontaneous building process with an interest
in architecture. Buildings and groups of buildings are materializations
of human decisions, coupled with natural cycles of growth and
decay. A red farmhouse becomes a water-bottling facility, and
a three-story stainless-steel tank is added. As the business
grows, an enormous steel building, also red, is added, which
now dwarfs the original crumbling structure. A uniform row of
staunch 1950s brick ranch houses with their quiet, low hip roofs
lies within a sprawl of 1850s Victorians in various stages of
decay. The endless supply of architectural instances such as these––how
they look, how they function, and what they mean––permeates my
work. My sculptures evolve much as architecture evolves, always
in response to the purpose of the moment and always in response
to what is already there.
