Process: Furniture
Inspired by the raw beauty of the vast American deserts in the Southwest, our work seeks to embody a resonance with the landscape forms highlighted by the strong light and deep shadows of the Colorado plateau. Our designs are fueled by the memories of our lives in the southwest, through which we engage the material we have at hand, crafting and refining into our vision of modern desert life.
Each piece of furniture is a custom design and an individually crafted work. Developed from reclaimed wood, our work shows the marks of its origin while being refined through confident contemporary design.
Process: Working Drawings by Jerome Tryon
This ongoing series explores how drawings can be made to prolong the experience of seeing, so that the experience of seeing extends into time and time into memory. To fully see one of these multidimensional drawings, either the drawing or the viewer must move. In either case, the drawing and its framework must become an artifact of memory to be seen as a whole.
In this series of working drawings, both operable and static frameworks are created to allow drawing compositions to change and become spatial, or to redact portions of the image to invite bodily movement and investigation. All are investigations into extending the experience of seeing into spatial perception.
