TITLE:
The Warrior Motel Room 21, Whittier, NC 2011

STATEMENT:
Discovered off of a small North Carolina highway, The Warrior Motel evokes notions of abandonment and motel lodging being a temporary substitute for the comforts of home. Despite being open to the elements, some rooms are still intact leaving behind memories of their former occupants. Others are eerily bare, revealing a box like structure that holds little or no emotional connotations.

The Sweater House Maquette, 2010-11

STATEMENT:
Inspired by ideas of home, personal attire, and their ties to our expression, The Sweater House combines our outermost appearance with the external structure we reside in. This preliminary maquette consists of 2,440 sweaters, which were printed on paper, cut, and 'hung' on wire hangers. Envisioned with cotton crew neck sweaters and wood frame construction, the proposed size (15 x 10 x 20ft) will allow viewer interaction by being able to enter and experience the apparel-residence on a real life scale.

PROPOSED SIZE:
15 x 10 x 20 ft

STATEMENT:
Often referring to my digital camera as my 'sketchbook', Everything Here is Slightly Plastic, combines those digital journal entries with written chronicles to bring the mediums of photography and writing together in one piece. Often trying to merge the satirical with the empirical, I have either written directly about the photograph or have used the image's 'character' to inspire a sentence.
