About works / performance

Points of departure for the work have included architecture and the city, geography, and world events. Works examine the various dimensions of the constructed and unbuilt landscape and how society, individuals, and communities interact with, define, and shape their environments and vice versa. Works examine zones, fragments, irregularities, and structures in the contemporary landscape and the narratives they reveal about the social, cultural, and economic conditions of a particular site.
