'A House is a Machine for Living In'...?

Hello again. This new post reveals the most up to date, (hot off the press!), images of my studio practice. These pieces have been made from materials related to architecture and interior design, such as greyboard; often utilised by architects to make models of forthcoming developments, and carpet tiles ubiquitous to most office blocks and other institutions within the U.K. and around the world. I am yet to decide on titles for these pieces, but I will update this information as soon as I come to a decision.

The first images; these cuboid-esque, hollow constructions, fixed together with brackets, nuts and bolts, have been made with the architects model in mind. However the use of carpet tiles to represent tower-blocks is the first  break from conventional model-making. This both corporate and domestic material alludes to the interior space of a tenement, yet now makes up the exterior facade of these forms.

The second piece; a row of simple balcony-like structures made from greyboard material and double-sided tape are attached to the wall in an orderly and rational manner. They are bonded to this blank wall space  with merely double-sided tape, and therefore have over time  become slowly detached.This is an expression of entropy manifested within the plan or the idea.
