Goldwell Residency

This was a drawing of the dry-laid stone wall that I created that was the basis for “East/ West Pyre for Mihai”

This was a drawing of the remnant stone wall of an ice-house at the Goldwell Artists Residency in Rhyolite, NV and all of it's important dimensions. I like to be thorough. I was thinking about building an architectural intervention here, but decided against it due to local inhabitants (snakes) being potentially against the idea

This was a work built as a meditation on the life of a friend and mentor using the unrelenting conditions of the desert as a vehicle for the work's slow demise.

“East/ West Pyre for Mihai” was built as a meditation on the life of a friend and mentor using the unrelenting conditions of the desert as a vehicle for the work's slow demise and the inevitability of life's failure. The work had three stages: conception, construction and failure. This drawing indicated exactly where the structure of the work failed due to weight, heat and wind. In the end, the work was built to fail; any and all metaphors are welcomed

I'd love to return and make this a reality one day

A temporary work that re-built a piece of 1850s jail-cell from the gold-rush town of Goldwell, Nevada. It was a play on weight and scale - finishing the fortress of stone (destroyed by time) with paper and light.
