Architectural Biography /
This could exist as a zine or a more formal publication and would consist of a series of plan drawings of everywhere I’ve ever lived, from memory.
Alongside those drawings would be written a key memory from my time living there.
Googie Signs /
A series of Googie-style signs designed for places/businesses that don’t exist (but sound like they might). Possibly then rendered in Blender or other-such 3D software.
“Dinosaur World”
“Jimmy’s Dogs and Valet”
“World of Chicks”
“Bowsher’s Automotive”
Little Echo /
An architectural/housing development of a handful of Spanish-style bungalows/shotgun shacks set around a small body of water with a water-feature based on the hi-jets in Echo Park Lake, Los Angeles.
The artwork is the endeavour of building the bungalows and doing the landscaping, but once they exist they can be run as residency live/work studios and low-cost housing for artists.
Evil Portal /
A huge holographic installation in a desert somewhere.
This is based on (essentially a recreation of) a scene from the film ‘Time Bandits’.
In one scene of the film, the Time Bandits find themselves in a desert and come across an invisible barrier they can’t pass through. They start arguing and one of them picks up a nearby skull from a deceased animal (maybe human, I need to check) and throws it at the person they’re arguing with.
The skull misses the person and smashes through the invisible barrier, shattering it like a massive piece of glass, and making a huge hole in it, which reveals The Fortress of Ultimate Darkness (a scary castle) behind.
This sculpture/installation would be a massive glass hologram in the desert, in the shape of a huge broken sheet of glass, with an image of a scary fortress/castle in it.
