Aristotle defined time as a “Number of motions in respect to before and after,� but as time gained conceptual relevance in our lives, it became a linear measurement. In essence, time exists as a memory of before and a projection of the future. Our perception of the past and future changes, becoming faster as we collect memory.

In order to convey Aristotle’s definition of time as conceptual and relative, I devised a structure to contain a space that alienates the inhabitant from measured time. The facade communicates the transition from one experience of time to another as it undulates, separating itself from the linear, repetitive motions of the adjacent buildings.

The space is divided into three experiences: before, after and the motions of the present. The before and after spaces are static, representing their conceptual nature. The vocabulary of these spaces oscillates, creating a spatialized experience, with the before space shifting slowly and the after quickly.

In contrast to the static spaces representing before and after, the present experience is mobile, textured and organic. Made from copper and organized to mimic the flight patterns of flocking birds, this mobile creates a spatial experience that is alive and able to respond to each interacting individual.

This project began as a study of Expressionism. By analyzing varied techniques and vocabularies of the movement, I developed fundamental visual rules to build a physical language focusing on the abstraction of color, shape, light, organization and visual space. Through these manipulations, the toy allows for infinite free play.

This project started as an analysis of my drawing on the left; the subject of the image lacked the dynamic elegance of the background content. I began a series of studies that explored illustrated space through tonal minimalism. Initially these tones were subtle, but as I I incorperated formal rules of line weight, contrast and scale, the drawing solidified. Formal element study

“Curve� was a response to a simple problem: design two three-dimensional objects that connect to create a third enclosed space. By using plexiglass, aluminum, filament and wire, I constructed two curved, triangular prisms which join to create a third enclosed prism.

Left: This piece “Buffy,” was inspired by David Hockney’s work “Mother,” consisting of multiple individual images organized to give an impression of the whole. Right: “Katie Rose,” a portrait of my roommate deludes the perception of the audience. Is it a photograph, or a painting? The illusion is created by painting the subject with highlights and shades so that she appears two-dimensional. By painting the background to replicate shadows, the image comes to life in a dynamic optical deception.
