The canopies play homage to both the tents of our most nomadic way of life, and the fortress our most settled way of life. As I walked around my neighborhood I became aware of how the area was changing as people carved out larger perimeters, it set in motion my understanding of appropriated design. The adjustable canopies, flag stone patios , garden fences - all features that originate in our past. The residue of castles and stone walls, and although domesticated still reveal our relationship with territory and ownership.
