Ian Ramsay
My work involves a dialog between intuition, analytical processes, and execution through deliberate, methodical construction. Often beginning with existing objects or materials, the works undergo a process of building new into, or out of, the old. These interventions alter or compromise function while maintaining the imprint of history and use. In references to the forms and structures of architecture, industry, furniture, and artifact, the works employ the found and the fabricated to balance artifice and authenticity.
