Creating A Box Project
​​
My inspiration for this project came from photographs I had taken when walking in downtown Geneva. I was then able to translate these photos into designs made out of 4x6 inch pieces of chipboard, which I afterwards constructed into partially enclosed boxes.
This project, in particular, encouraged an in depth observation of positive and negative space interacting with light.

A Site-Specific Installation
​​
This project is a site specific installation project, which was designed for a forested area in Geneva, New York.
​
My intent for the installation itself was to interact on a personal level with the natural surroundings. Inside, a visitor would be able dangle their legs over the stream as it passes underneath them. Two skylights were made so that the visitor could enjoy a calming ambient light. Lastly, the front opening of the installation was decidedly positioned towards an open valley and sunset for the viewer to enjoy.
Viewfinder for Downtown Geneva
​​
For this project, I selected an empty parking lot as my viewfinder's site location. At my site, there was a beautiful mural placed next to both an abandoned set of warehouses and a thriving downtown city street. I felt that the area told a story of the past, present, and future. From this understanding I built a device which encouraged a passerby to stop and look at the area through a new lens- to reveal a different perspective.
