Load Bearing Series

This series of artworks is constructed from the physical language of old-world architecture, where structure and craft were inseparable. Each work draws from materials shaped by time and human touch, including brick, timber, metal, and hand-worked elements that once served distinct purposes. Some components date back centuries, carrying with them the marks of their original environments. These are not recreations, but continuations—fragments of structures that have endured, now reassembled into new forms.

Each piece brings together materials collected for decades from different places, purposes, and periods. Elements that once belonged to sacred, domestic, commercial, or transitional spaces now coexist within a single structure. Their patina acts as a form of memory, holding fragments of histories that are no longer fully legible, but still present.

Subtle systems of mark-making move through the work, from architectural patterns and hand-formed details to references drawn from ancient symbols and geometric forms. These gestures reflect humanity’s ongoing attempts to understand origin, meaning, and place—whether through construction, language, or belief. Without resolving these questions, the work offers a space to consider them, connecting the origins of materials with the broader question of our own.
