01 // STICKS & STONES
Installation
WUHO Gallery
Using simple categories of Sticks and Stones, this installation is inspired by both the primitive “natural” world (Joshua Tree) and that of 3D-modeling programs (such as were used to produce this installation) taking them, as it were, on equal footing. The main components here are a series of “stackers,” approximately 4’ x 4’ x 8’ in bounded dimension. Comprised of a structural steel framework, they hold up the stones in a way that alludes to both primitive techniques of stacking, as well as the weightlessness of the digital design environment. Finished with a glittered-white stucco, the stones are understood as surface. Reduced to an aluminum wireframe, the stones are understood as structure - in a kind of analogue to “Rendered View” vs.“Wireframe View,” in Rhino terminology. The fabrication process utilized a cyclical workfl ow to incorporate scraps and leftovers into the final product. For instance, the milling process produces a kind of foam “pebble” as waste. The waste was collected and stuffed into cushions and distributed throughout the installation. Overall, a rich set of objects are produced by interweaving material flows, assemblies, and fabrication processes, offering an architectural affect of buoyancy and ease.

02 // HOLY CRAP
Curation & Exhibition Design
From recent collective confrontations with our interior worlds, the works in Holy crap explore possible ways to remake everyday household spaces and items, inspired by ritualism, mysticism and fanaticism. Asking playfully, what if home improvement were enlightened? Including works from the curators plus Angelica Lorenzi, Hans Wendel, and Erin Wright.

03 // TWOFERS
Curation & Exhibition Design
at SPRING/BREAK Art Show LA
A story of 6 Stools together with 6 wall pieces produced by 6 emerging architects. As the Floor and the Wall belong to the same Room, so the Stool (floor piece) and the wall piece belong to the same larger work: the twofer. Every object exists concomitant to itself and to something more.
Work included: Laida Aguirre, Matthew Corbitt, David Eskenazi, Patrick Geske, Cody Miner and Melissa & Amanda Shin
