Temporality and the aesthetics of collage are primary themes in my work. Ruins manifest both these themes. Ruins index the passage of time and often create urban collages of building fabric over many eras. Italian conversions of historic spaces into exhibition spaces in the 1950s, exemplified by Scarpa and Albini, created new canons of museology for the interrelation of historic art and architecture combined with contemporary interventions. I plan to explore museums in Rome and other parts of Italy with regard to the interrelationship of architecture, art, and installation, documenting and visualizing primarily through drawing and watercolor. The end product is intended to be a portfolio of my graphic studies of collage effects and devices between buildings, artwork and art installation apparatus.
