Project Description

FROM AIA GEORGIA:

It is in the grotesque
production of fundaments that Dirty Work(s):A Mighty Good Totem takes hold as a celebratory
instrument of “white gold” as part of the annual Kaolin Festival in Sandersville , Georgia. These
totems mix geographies of modern culture such as pseudo-scientific precisio, whiteness, and
denial of gravity with agencies of rural craft such as quilting patterns and material sensibility in
an effort to strike a dialog that positions (the architect’s) “work”. While neither fine art nor pure
craft, these constructions witness a polluted, more homeopathic approach toward design.
