From 2000 - 2010, I collaborated with Tony Romano as T&T to produce multiple series of architectural models, drawings, sculptures, orthographic panoramic projections and music related to the portrayal of humanity in the process of reinventing modes of work, habitation and recreation. In our projections, and the corresponding body of work produced for this MFA thesis exhibition, I've continued exploring forecasts that arise when foundational systems undergo imaginative adaptations; signaling a shift toward speculative engineering that may provide the framework for a futuristic utopian refuge.
