Input=Output

   
       
  My work uses the modular unit as a metaphor for the potential of an individual. Each module represents the possibility of the endless interconnectivity of a larger system. This interconnectivity is achieved visually by referencing Minimalism and distorting Robert Morris’ interpretation of the Gestalt. Rather than understanding the whole by looking at one side of a cube, all six sides of my geometric forms vary in order to interlock with its opposite side. Similar to Minimalism’s use of industrial materials, I too have limited what I will use. I operate within a system of parameters using only basic building materials. In opposition to Minimalism, I reveal my process by leaving evidence of problem solving and imperfections.
