Propositional Architecture

Build starting for Placeholder show. The shell is coming along nicely, windows and door handles to follow.

This installation will exist as two discrete components. A cardboard facsimile of a piece of regional architecture, surfaced with a mural.

The period building referenced is a multiuse space, with companion buildings in most suburbs of Canberra. Currently it exists in Aranda as a Scout Hall and Dance Studio. I was drawn to this space for its history of uses - both formal and unsanctioned.

The mural will coalesce from my ongoing studio research, which includes field-test paintings as extensions of my notebooks in urban and suburban spaces across the city.

These paintings are the detritus of my efforts at coalescing a visual language, which echo the mixing, matching, shuffling, repetition and searching of journal exploration.
