Artist Statement

My working methodology begins with systematic site investigations of things like patterns of daylight, prevailing winds, and temperature gradients in order to reveal the fundamental relationships that play out locally over time.  State-of-the-art computer tools aid this process, translating environmental flows into time-based output states that can be observed, analyzed, and eventually inflected. Cycling through this process foregrounds the inextricable linkage that exists between the work’s physical constituents and the dynamic natural environment.  With such a deep level of integration between the intervention and the environment, the work underpins the totality of place in ways that are responsive, respectful, and lasting.  Tim Frank
