Site Specificity: Art and Architecture
Sculpture, particularly abstract sculpture, serves as a portal to internal and subjective experience and carries the potential to enhance an architect’s specific vision. My medium of choice — stone, and especially Italian marble — is tied to some of the world’s oldest architectural works, and I delight in imbuing the ancient material with new life in innovative settings. With collaboration and diligent aesthetic consideration, architecture, landscape, and sculpture can harmonize for an exponentially enriched experience on both the individual and collective scales. - Richard Erdman, 2021
