Artist Statement
HOME-OFFICE, a design and research collaborative led by Brittany Utting and Daniel Jacobs, explores the reciprocity between architectural types, their technical assemblies, and the environment. Through image-making, public art projects, and exhibitions, we experiment with speculative forms of architectural research and representation that envision new ecological relations.
While at Headlands
While at Headlands, our work will center around the question: How can we use representation to express the material depths and temporal scales of architecture’s geological relations? While the energy-intensive practices of architecture participate in extractive economies, can visualizing the geological suggest alternative climate futures? Through the development of a series of wall fragments, model prototypes, mixed-media images, and film sequences, we are interested in working with forms of representation that tease out the textures, sedimentations, and terrestrial worlds within architecture.
