Construction Series Cards - Bringing the "fine art of construction" to everyday objects!
Before the "fine art" of notation and
documentation of The Construction Series
cards can begin, I start with research to uncover
as many facts, truths, and sometimes surprising
conditions of any ordinary recognizable object
or item. With my research and training as an
architect in mind, I hand draw the appropriate
plans, elevations and/or sections of the item,
and assemble my notes around each one.
The final result is a brief look into the world
through an architect/engineers eyes, and a
whimsical combination of structure and humor! Visit the online shop or view the
the full list for all available Construction Card designs.
