This was a new test I had made in the studio right before the quarantine started. Wishing I could be back there making new rips in the studio this week. 🥺 . . . #folding #fold #paper #architecture #architecturephotography #metbreuer #met #nyc #newyork #brutalism #brutalistarchitecture #shadow #rip https://www.instagram.com/p/B-61wm5g2d0/?igshid=kfgowr0g869u

The view from my new LA studio as I start my residency at Sci-Arc today! I will be thrown into the deep end of architecture this next month as I learn Rhino, CNC milling, texture mapping and everything else. I will be updating my insta page with process and portfolio work as I gear up to the final exhibition in 4 weeks! Thank you to the Canada Council for the Arts for the support to make this residency happen. @canadacouncil #bringingtheartstolife #sciarc #losangeles #architecturephotography #architecture @sciarc (at SCI-Arc) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrTfLZAGBi/?igshid=1j400m407cm57
