Artist Statement:
Through the improvisational
ideals of vernacular
architecture, I’ve been
exploring issues of loss,
necessity, social function and
creativity as they pertain to
homelessness. The small
dwellings I construct from
bits of earth and recycled
materials are inspired by the
creative housing solutions of
outsiders, squatters and
displaced populations, and
suggest the random yet
deliberate order of assembling
one’s home when the means of
shelter are left to chance and
inspired necessity. While
provisional housing addresses
basic needs and is utilitarian
in form and function, the
improvised architecture of the
singular dweller is cultivated
directly from its environment.
It is largely land-based and
relies on both natural and
salvaged materials. Shelters
ultimately accumulate piece by
piece in a solo effort for
survival and self-expression -
man-made objects are married
to nature as form and function
overlap by default.
