I am fascinated with the work and ideas of Chicago Architect Bertand Goldberg, his famous break with Mies van der Rohe, the sculptural presence of his round buildings, the idealism of wanting to create mixed-use housing, hospitals, beautiful and sophisticated public housing for the poor.  In the summer of 2010, I traveled to Chicago to visit some of his iconic buildings. The demolition of his landmark Prentice Women’s Hospital at Northwestern University was looming, and after a lengthy preservation battle and tenure on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places, the hospital was demolished in 2013-2104. I spend several days exploring Prentice Hospital, Marina City and Raymond Hilliard Homes, knowing I would never see Prentice again, and then spent years drawing and making sculptures based on my “pilgrimage” to these sites, trying to replicate the hybridity, metamorphic fluidity, promiscuous and impressionistic processes of memory itself. The project is a meditation on Goldberg and modernism but also my way of trying to come to terms with the mutability of memory, the inevitability of loss and the nature of obsession.
