I’m interested in transferring my hand-drawn detail sketches to clay, somehow, as a tangible expression of the juxtaposition of life and art.

Although CAD is the primary method of producing architectural drawings today, I frequently work out details by hand - something about that process enables me to think in a way that mouse-in-hand doesn’t.

At work, I’m moving toward the end of wrapping up a big set of drawings for the boathouse at the Great Lakes Naval Base. It’s a masonry restoration and interior reconsideration of a fine 1904 building. In the process, I’ve learned an incredible amount about masonry and roofing.

It seems worthwhile to pursue.
