My exploration of space contemplates cultural resonances implicit in architecture, from design to social value, and how these condition its various readings. This approach to dissecting architectural anatomies and spaces through my drawings, installations and public sculpture explores the possibility of multiple conflicts embedded in them as a result of the many decisions “hidden” in their structures.
