Trace your hand,
make it gobble.
All of my roomates and anyone who stopped by had arts and crafts time.
Since there was nothing on, we glued a lot of things to the television.
Oh giant Angelina head, how I miss you.
Attention to detail.
Some more old film photos I stumbled on yesterday.
In retrospect,
I might have been
a bad roommate.
Also
The television might
be in
the Mississippi.
There are some things that
I don’t recall.
Contributors to the tv-monster that I recall: John Paul Young, Charlie Smyrk, Kristen Banasik, Garrett Gilbertson, Aneesa Adams, William Hessian, Dan Skogstad, Stevo Bloechl, Eric Nelson … and probably more. Please pipe in if you glued something. I’ll add you to the list. I can remove you too, if you’re embarrassed or something.
I was digging through old film photos.
I wasn’t looking for this picture, but I found it.
This was the WSU painting studio sink.
I always liked to call it the milk sink.
I thought it was an interesting partner with my current sink.
I’m heavily interested in looking at other photographs of artist sinks.
Please share if you have any.
I’m just

It might take eight to raise this barn.
Where did that one go?
What is with this guy anyway?
When I worked at
the bottle factory.
I used
to wonder
about the workers in
different factories,
where the products
got interesting.
After a long
shitty day,
how could

Some silly architects
doing some silly pondering
I should have written “purdy sturdy”
It’s a shame too.
Found a little LED light.
This is our cedar.
That’s the floor and the tall wall.
That is all I want to tell you.
We have a lot of work to do.
I can d-d-d-raw I sw-sw-sw-ear.

This is what it feels like
when you can feel
all near possibilities
playing out

At least she floats.
and something is still wrong.
You can’t stop it.
The latest crazation that’s sweeping the nation. The biggest thing since hallucination. Please, step inside this abomination.
I’m no seamstress.
If you look close, you will see the needle in the shadows.
Big and beautiful smelling recycled playground cedar… wrapped in mis-manufactured artist canvas.
Look out the ear and see sound. You can also see what a messy studio we have.
All closed up it stands a little over 8 feet tall.
Did I mention that this is modular? The skeleton breaks down into six minivan loads.
What an attractive profile.
The teeth are for biting.
Inside view, without the candles.
Standing inside my giant head. Perceiving you.
This is the materialization of the big head structure that I’ve been drawing for a couple years now.
You can find an example here or here … and there are many more scattered throughout the site.
The concept:
We can not determine the actual use of an architectural structure. We can design buildings with an INTENDED use in mind, but we can not predict how they will ACTUALLY be used (i.e. a movie theater can be used for many disgusting things, beyond watching a bad movie).
Along those same thought lines, we ALL perceive the same reality differently. We don’t know the truth about truth. We only know that we all perceive.
I see this as an opportunity, because the ONLY thing an architectural structure can POSSIBLY be used for (at least the only thing we KNOW it can be used for) IS perception.
That’s why I’ve made Perpetual Perceptual.
This is a humble abode designed purely for your perception.
Lots of “FIRST”s for such a tiny architectural structure.
This is the FIRST architectural structure designed with perception as THE intended use.
This is the FIRST architectural structure that is successful in delivering it’s intended use to ALL of it’s occupant’s.
This is the FIRST architectural structure that we actually KNOW is functioning.
*I am aware that some of these “FIRST”s are only perceptions.
Custom perceptual abodes available. Just contact me.
