When thinking of a residential project, toilets aren’t the first aspect that comes to mind. Your mind immediately goes to the French windows in the living room, the silky marble floors, or the decor of your room. Sadly, toilets are way down on the priority list! But they are critical to our daily lives. So ironic, isn’t it?! Other than being responsible for our health and a savior for the environment, a toilet also acts as the best place to browse through Facebook or Instagram, reply to emails,

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes.” ? Arshile Gorky, Painter. OUR TRUEST NATURE. As I paint abstractions, I am seeing more deeply into the past, current, and even future world: within nature, built environments, and people. Through abstraction I am able to tap into the intangible essence of these elements, to uncover their hidden potential and beauty.

Homeowners getting overwhelmed is quite natural when it comes to designing a new home. Sometimes a residential architect might also put in few confident-sounding words along with the design to ease the whole process. And that helps folks! A reliable architect means you could breathe easy and watch your new home come into existence. Most people do some inventory and categorizing before meeting with a residential architect.

“I wanted to try and create an inner disposition in which people can move naturally, where they can swim like a fish in the water. The kind of relaxed living where you subconsciously anticipate where everything is. The natural flow of the daylight is most important.

When success arrives, when scientists achieve the “eureka” moment, they often describe their reaction in aesthetic terms. In 1957, Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann developed a theory of interaction between fundamental particles. The theory did not agree with some recent experiments but had aesthetic qualities that convinced its authors.

Much has been written about the building by architects and historians and other people of letters. But when it comes to sizing up history, we always like to go to that most Chicago of Chicagoans, Carl Sandburg.

Twitter’s signal-to-noise ratio isn’t encouraging—there’s far too much trolling and misinformation, too much impulsivity, and not enough use of the platform for good. That said, its benefits for social organization, tracking areas of interest, and authentic engagement are real. I use Twitter to follow friends, folks involved with architecture or construction, those who tweet about local news here in Eugene, or personalities involved with Oregon Ducks athletics (my guilty pleasure).

WHY I CREATE ART. Within the book entitled Drawing to See , the Italian architect Carlo Scarpa states: “I want to see, and that is why I draw. I can see an image only if I draw it” This sentiment holds true for me as well. When I create art, I am able to see more deeply into my curiosities, experiments, surroundings, and even into myself and others.
