Themes On A Fallow House

Themes on a Fallow House is a study of architecture and its effect on the way we create collective memories, accumulate material culture, and associate ourselves with place. Through experimenting with analog processes and materials, this work aims to suggest that architecture acts as a repository for memories. Yet, amidst an ever changing society and landscape, the inevitable degradation of architecture, and therefore the memories accumulated within its material, will eventually occur. This degradation is the tool which allows for new meanings to be transferred onto objects and places, thus they live on.
