I would like to research and present the Fragment/Whole topic.

I'm probably going to muddle through this next bit because I really haven't figured out what to do with this yet. For some time now I have had an ongoing project/experiment/obsession with photographing "fragments and artifacts" found in situ with the intent to document a sense of place which is a sort of fiction written by the play between the memory and history imbedded in the artifacts and the memories and thoughts brought to the place by the viewer. After having walked countless miles (the visceral physical experience of walking being a crucial component to the experience of space) and taken hundreds of photographs, I find myself questioning what I once would have defined as landscape, and now consider it not to be a physical thing per se, but rather an experience closely tied to memory of walking through, or otherwise inhabiting, a place. Where this thought stands now, for me, is can I transfer this idea from a project that is about a way of seeing the world through the lens of camera to a way of making architecture?

"APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain."
