For this project, I set out to create an “extended” window. I am interested in the pairing rigid materials like steel and resin with motifs that feel soft, delicate, yet restrained. The unpainted steel alludes to the exposed essence of industrial architecture and to construction processes that are typically concealed beneath layers of drywall and paint.
Surrounding the imagery of a motionless horse, suspended in perpetuity, I explore the feeling of being a small cog within a vast, constantly moving machine. When the walls around you, all the things you know to be true, are stripped away.. what are you left with?
This work reflects on longing, imagined freedom, and the ways aspiration. It considers the impulse to daydream beyond present conditions and asks what it might mean to look ahead. If you could peer through a window into your future, would you? What might such an extended window reveal if your life could unfold before you as plainly as the movement of wind through trees seen from inside a room?
