ARTIST STATEMENT

My passion for architectural design was achieved through indirect and unintended

means. I began my undergraduate years unsure of my intentions, but I knew that I loved

both art and math. Exploring both possibilities, I took a variety of classes in both fields,

including Calculus, Photography, and Modern Architectural History. The last immediately

captured my attention and I soon found myself researching everything I could on the

subject.

Then, in a moment of epiphany, I realized that I could create buildings like those I found

so enthralling. I had all the necessary tools: the craftsmanship, the intelligence, and the

focus. But when I viewed the works of Modernist architects Le Corbusier and Walter

Gropius, I knew that they had something I didn’t: they had an architectural vision. So I

did the only thing I could think of to acquire this essential element: I turned to my 35mm

manual camera, loaded the back with film, and set out to photograph buildings.

Through my photographic engagement with Modern and industrial structures (I find

these best represent my stylistic preferences), I have learned that the ideal form is one

based upon functionality, asymmetry, and an understanding of both positive and negative

space. The purity and simplicity inherent in Modernist architecture is overwhelmingly

beautiful to me and I seek to understand and convey this through my photographs. By

starting as a fine arts student and transitioning to architecture by means of architectural

photography, I have managed to acquire an architectural vision, a skill that will prove

invaluable as a graduate student of architecture.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY, SUMMER 2009

The initial plans for this dwelling were based upon a previous exercisethat called for a 6x6 cube. My initial cube was to epitomize the verb “towrap,” so I wove the plyboard around the central cavity to create a variety of unique spaces. In the final dwelling project, I drew upon mycube while furthering the idea of wrapping. The final dwelling entwinedthe central space and the landscape while blending the techniquesand styles acquired throughout the summer.
