SCAPES: BLACK AND WHITE

In these drawings I use decorative wallpaper pattern as a cue for the nostalgia of childhood and time passed — a floor plan, cross section, or elevation view of a house, stage, orchard, or garden. “House” is an anonymous object — a symbol of the ideal or simplified American “home”. As I construct interior and exterior spaces, I mark them with layers of organic matter, stained wallpaper, transparent spoil, and new growth. The new house-scapes are ambiguous spaces, both glorified and tarnished.
