Constructed Nature (2016) is a body of work which explores the creative process of material experimentation and pattern making. The project has become an exercise in conscious thinking and decision making which develops from the way the materials perform.

 

At the core of project is ‘nature’ and what it means to be a part of — or apart from — nature. I am interested in the relationship we as human beings form with the natural world. This has led me to explore how this relationship has been changed by urbanism and how these changes have manifested into different city patterns from medieval times to present day.

 

The grid as modernity’s sign is symptomatic of a modern rationalist desire to objectify and control nature. With the use of this pattern I am making reference to our shared experiences of alienation, isolation and homogenization, and also to the feelingof being trapped or suffocated as urbanites.
