Society of four houses

Each study is a study of entanglement;  optical as in the shadow/light generated work; tectonic–the nature of assembly and intersecting parts; material–such as the bending of wood. In all cases the passage through and between property, the creation of implied shared ownership and the asymmetric  dance between the social compact and the fortified legal language of “ownership” propel and regulate the project.
