Toward (Re)-Capturing the Sublime, Recovering Previous Understandings of the Sublime for Their Use in Contemporary Architecture Practice
This project examined the concept of the sublime in relation to architectural practice, with the objective to identify factors that play a role in a place being experienced as ‘sublime’ or ‘awe-inspiring,’ and ‘transcendental’. It aimed to establish how these factors can be translated into practice, and also made tangible to the point where they can be shared with other practitioners and a wider audience. It argues that the sublime, with its capacity to shift thinking and help us to see connections, may result in more joined-up thinking in order to coordinate better solutions to the pressing issues we are confronted with, and the fact that architecture and the society it derives from are two inseparable matters.

Growing Ground: Utility and Ritual in Agricultural Landscapes in the McElmo and Montezuma Creeks Watersheds
This practice-based project explored agricultural sites in sacred settings in and around Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, bringing to the foreground the agricultural landscapes that have supported ancient and contemporary dwelling in the region. The crops and fields in this area have been the backbone of life for local communities yet are often relegated to the background of more monumental scenes. Embodying ritual and utility, the agricultural landscape of the present and the past hold much to explore. Building upon several seasons of field work on the Lowry, Sand Canyon and Painted Hand Pueblo landscapes, this project dedicated a field season to developing drawings, photographs and video imagery focused on the agricultural landscapes in the Montezuma and McElmo watersheds. A series of large, vivid color prints on metal that highlight the richness of the agricultural landscape now, with connections to the agricultural wisdom of the Puebloan lifeways, were created for exhibitions at local and regional museums and cultural centers.
