The folowing images represent a personal
study that attempts to concurrently
synthesize several realities.

The ultimate goal is to create a fresh,
contemporary tectonic, while recognizing
certain influences of mid-20th century
design and cultural zeitgeist.

Atomic deserts, hovering metal ships,
roadside steel and glass, space age
superhighways- all come to mind.

These are purely iconic images however,
not ingredients for a nostalgic recreation
of a particular style.

The moods and environments are
deliberately ambiguous; it is left to the
viewer to decide if they are looking at
places of desolation and lonliness or
scences of quiet solitude.
