Episodes

2017- present, various occasions.

The collection in this chapter are productions that are tangential, partial, and out of context. I am proud of these individual pieces and I believe that they illustrate my diversity of interests and skills.

I am comfortable working between analog and digital media, and in a variety of styles. I want to continue to experiment more with physical models and diff erent materials, and explore new ways to improve my digital drawing skills. I hope to have this opportunity and encouragement in an offi ce.

This exercise was part of Brad Collett’s “Operative Landscapes,” where we designed small-site landscapes with performative aspects. I chose to replicate the local Appalachian Forest planting community in downtown Knoxville to combat urban air quality issues.

This exercise was another part of Brad Collett’s “Operative Landscapes,” where we designed smallsite landscapes with performative aspects. In this iteration, I chose the Mississippil Delta Salt and Brackish Tidal Marsh plant communities.

These drawings are from my second semester studio with Andrew Madl titled “Dendritic Taxonomies.” The overall work suff ers from “changing the studio project two weeks from fi nal review,” so while the project is disjointed, the individual models and drawings are individually successful and dynamic.

European Urbanisme is the cumulative project from Design Communications II, where I studied the French landscape architecture fi rm, Agence Ter. Through my research, I fi nd a common theme of the fi rm that is realized in two separate projects: Les Halles in Paris (competition work with OMA) and their fi rst American work, Pershing Square in Los Angeles. In the video, I illustrate how RADICAL FLATNESS is a common theme between the two geographically diff erent situations.

I’m grateful for my classic training in art. These are drawings I have done at local fi gure drawing sessions after graduation. I fi nd the activity very engaging. To be able to focus solely on form, gesture, expression, and light for an hour or two is a wonderful luxury.

thank you.
