"shopping carts" graphite and pencil on bristol paper, 11x14
"The shopping carts first struck me by their sculptural variation, they’re perpetual works in progress, and the drawings are meant to freeze them as “still lifes." As an architect, it is fascinating to see how these carts are truly “designed” in terms of immediacy and necessity."

artist peter root:
"Low-Rise is a precarious assemblage of thousands of free-standing stacks of staples densely tessellated to create a city-like mosaic. Like a city, the staples are subject to the elements, on a micro scale. The slightest breath or vibration and the domino effect kicks in."
