Resume







A rule based drawing informs a tectonic landscape. Within that, three objects stand, creating an enclave divided by a raised path. A system of tunnels connects the deeper areas of the landscape to the space under the objects.

The outer landscape is hostile, with jagged edges and steep drops. The congregation space serves as a refuge from the outside, using brighter colors and tectonic on a human scale. The landscape and the refuge are inexorably connected.

In a harsh desolate landscape, a congregation space stands. As you try and enter, you pass right through. The end of the path reveals another entrance. You follow tunnels leading you to a warm, safe salvation.
