This piece was a merger of my model construction and
my installation work. Historically, I've made crude
models to study space use, composition and concept.
In the past two years, these crude models have evolved
into precise scale models of the intended piece.
Although the models were initially designed for pre-
show publicity, I thoroughly enjoyed building them and
am exploring their significance as works of art.

This particular model was more about the PROCESS
of making work than about anything else. My intention
was to create a large, roomsize model. I'm asked
myself the following questions: Is the model a sculpture?
Does the joy of making something justify its construction
or must it have a predetermined meaning that I strive to
convey? Can meaning be determined after the fact?
