Far from basic or primitive, these creations are built from humble elements twigs, pebbles, straw-found at the site. Fulfilling a wide variety of intentions, sometimes structural, sometimes sculptural, sometimes sacred, the works presented here inspire a sense of awe and reverence for the forces of nature. From a bridge in Tibet connecting an orphanage and a nearby village, to a hut fit for mythical creatures, to a pavilion in Iceland with a roof made of water perpetually frozen in an exuberant shape, each project resonates with a sense of purpose and innate beauty. Selected for their commitment to the use of raw materials, manual labor, and natural inspiration, these works are vividly displayed in photographs, drawings, and models. As organic as the materials with which they are built, these creations allow the living landscape to naturally overtake each structure until it finally decomposes." -- Site-specific installations Art 170826 Local Art, Modern 21st century.
