the artist statement


	artist statement The anthropomorphic qualities of furniture are central to the development of the domestic landscape. The objects we use are part of how we form identity through recognition of difference, physical manifestation of social codes and the quality that it is both being used and made by people. These objects become both children and predecessors to our intimate experience through memory and image. The characters in this drama live on a spectrum between ergonomics and image, play and use, intimacy and performance. The tacit relationship in a piece of materials to line and design to symbol (which is what the qualities and past trends in furniture become) drives architectural choices. Sampling images of the past with materials and current aesthetics one is gathering gentle recollections of style. Form follows imagination, and function is a script for where and how we interact with these creatures we live with.
