Conglomerates (Public) No. 1, 2019.

Conglomerates (Public) are constructed in response to urban architecture. Composed of the various materials found in and around a building, they are created along its edges and shadow lines. This integration forges a dialogue between the two different sized structures and male and female. Unlike the institutional buildings they stand by, Conglomerates (Public) are fragile, temporary spatial works standing in a delicate state of balance. Works are documented before falling over in the wind.
