‘BIRDLAND’ ROSS BLECKNER 2000, oil on linen, 96’ x 96’

‘birdland’ is a dizzying exploration of the states of memory and loss. it is characterized by a field condition created by blurring and layers

shaped by the concept of sound absorption and echo, the ‘tiles’ belie the function of their spaces.

the 1 person pod imitates a sound absorbing room,

process explorations

response to function sensitivity and awareness of structure

pieces were created through a process of laminating and wetting. this allowed for them to be molded to their function

03: LIVE/WORK

LIVE/WORK in PUBLIC/PRIVATE SPACE

the central corridor is public, but passersby are aware of the existence of people on both sides. as they walk past, they are ‘squeezed’ by the structure itself.

the translucent structures imitate the opaque forms and provide privacy without obscurity
