At first glance the 120BLO project appears as a conglomerate of twisted steel components, fresh from the consignment yard, adjoined to other space defining parts. After living with such a work in the adjacent bunk for several months, one undoubtedly begins to see the deliberate joining of those disparate parts. Parts that begin an interrelationship that once had not existed and that if unleashed into the everyday of our Wall Street society would most likely receive a notable amount of criticism.

However, these objects whether intentionally designed to perform programmed tasks or not, impress the dynamic of a new space into the human psyche. Function and use are adapted as secondary parameters when a steel armature, connected to a series of support wires, pipes, cables, and plate steel begin to act more like a bus stop, an amphitheatre or perform more simple tasks such as holding a drink. They occupy the everyday as proudly as any distinctive event. The objects are penetrable forms and spaces, allowing light, reflections and sound to pass through at the toll keeper’s levy. A tax which is in no part taxing. The product of such an interaction is the development of further depth, understanding and experience of those innate spatial properties.

A worth while undertaking does this. It is not necessarily in the form of twisted steel and manipulated, dangling cable. At times it finds its way into the austere places of chapels, baths, eateries and homes. There are many and we are out to find those moments. We are out to find ways to challenge and change the experiences and scenarios Wall Street tells us we should have. We are out to find different.
