generated doodles

I have always been visually oriented, perhaps that is what led me into Architecture.

 My 30 year career has been as  a “pragmatic, technically oriented architect “—a non-design architect”—

working to make the conceptual by others constructable, habitable and enjoyable by those who experience it.

During those years I allowed my pragmatic side to overshadow my creative side.

My compositions stem from what I term “generated doodles”—hand drawn pen and pencil doodles—simple at times, at other times complex - “doodles” which serve as a springboard to explore and generate.

stemming from my feelings of what organization of components, elements and ideas are and should be “all about” and how these components generate a multitude of differing forms and compositions.

The computer has allowed expanding the exploration and experimentation potential of these conceptualizations in their various forms, colors, shapes, compositions, textures, collages;

this suggests no end to the possibilities—-off-shoots and mutations generate entirely different works feelings and emotions.

At times purely two dimensional, at other times a representation of a concept modeled in 3D from an original doodle; abstract in nature….

yet the ability to stir the imagination is intriguing, exciting and fascinating.

i hope you enjoy pondering and viewing them as much as i enjoy exploring and creating these compositions.        

While ongoing and not always completed, explorations into these and other compositions,

offshoots into architectural realms are exciting to explore on a more personal and private level
