Plastic Bag Illustration. 2008.

As the wick flared up, the strangest room I had ever laid eyes on came into view. Except for a small bed hardly larger than a child's trundle bed, and the table with the lamp, it was a perfect museum of a room, full of the most atonishing items. "Egypt. Tut," my grandmother said solemnly.

Without a moment's hesitation I joined the gang of boys running behind the truck as it coughed and bounced its way across the racetrack toward the infield in front of the grandstand. Through the slats I caught a glimpse of something gray and enormous. As the battered vehicle jolted and rocked along with its enormous weight, I was breathless with anticipation.

Maybe it heard my grandfather speak because abruptly it swiveled it head around in our direction. It was as if the owl's head was on a separate machanism from its body, like a toy of some sort. But this bird was no toy.

I fell asleep dreaming of seals and silvery salmon, and a lone Green Mountian whale, swimming through the sunny June sky over Lost Nation Hallow, with the river and fields and my grandparents' house and barn lying unchanged and unchangeable beneath its swiftly passing shadow.

She handed me an ax and instructed me to cut her limber spruce pole about ten feet long. I did, and she began to probe down the mouth of the well with it. "Just as I thought," she said. "It isn't all that deep. Eight feet at most. Now, sir. Are you afraid of tight, dark places?"

One Week VingetteFall 2008

Taking inspiration from architects that have come before us, this project was a quick sketch of how to incorporate form,

styles, and motivations from three seperate masters into one new unique and coherent building.

Material Studies2005 - 2008

Experimentation within the design process was an integral part of my architecutre education. These are two seperate studies

showing how an everyday object can be transformed into something entirely new. These transformation then inform the

design process to go in directions unimagined.

M + D WeddingSummer 2009

I designed an accending field of light by the river James. The light pinacled under a single oak tree where M + D

celebrated their wedding into the darkness.

R + J SangeetSpring 2010

The night before their wedding R + J celebrated with family and friends in a NYC loft emmerced and surrounded by a winding abstract river made entirely of plastic bags.

Sushi DinnerSummer 2010

In a small personal vingette I designed a river that would become a tablescape. This project was a continuation of

the conceptual ideas behind the Sangeet.

Graphic DesignSummer 2011

These projects use graphics to further enhance the audiences understanding of a specific identity.
