Abstract

I want to explore our usage of landscape and space and how day and night is handled in this. I am particularly interested in how residential spaces, highways, and freeways are adressed. The focus of thought is the abstractions created through sunlight or artificial lighting at night, and the architecture and designs we use to utilize spaces. This is a way for me to find closure in past work I done as well as make the connection that I have been struggling to understand between myself, the land, others, and natural forces.
