Structure and Ornament is a solo exhibition of sculptural and video work presented at Innova, Milwaukee, and the Frye Art Museum, Seattle reflecting on the formative years of my childhood living in an unconventional house designed by the visionary American architect, painter, and musician Bruce Goff. The Ford House is notable for its exceptional treatment of light, radical use of materials, unconventional shaping of volume, and organic yet rigorous structures.
I made a series of works that arose from memories of the house, research with archival materials, and conversations with the house's current owner, Sidney K. Robinson, an architectural historian and preservationist. Some works in Structure and Ornament respond to architectural details of the Ford House, isolating them to consider their formal properties and poetic resonances.
