Artwork Description

A cabinet of architectural curiosities is an imagined landscape of an organic series of shelves, a cabinet for crystal ware or books that is filled with little architectures or architectural inventions that allow for the display of innovations or spatial / expressionistic ideas that exist in their pure abstract form. There is a long history of invention through artwork in architectural practise and this one attempts to examine the unconscious / mindless exaggerations that were conjured up in a single sitting.
