Clark THENHAUS / Endemic: The recently completed “Surface Gardens: Drawing Relief” project considers pre-digital drawing processes characterized by expressive materiality, competing formations, and non-delineated drawings as translatable compositions for surface articulation.

clark THENHAUS / Endemic: Carr Castle and Ornamental Gardens was a proposal for the Pruitt Igoe Now Competition integrating an architectural solid, (Chapel), with an informal, ornamental berm garden. Given the multi-layered contextual complexity of both physical and virtual histories in North St. Louis, this proposal concentrated on the physical qualities of a topographic garden and carved solid as cultural and social mediums, rather then directly economic or political strategies. Landform and mass thus serve as both a strategy of erasure, yet simultaneously as a material residue of remembrance through object and field.

clark THENHAUS / Endemic: Fluid Matrices is a series that begins with analogue, alchemic drawings using various types of ink, dye, wax, salt, and water each with organizational and material tendencies fostering a drawing technique dependant on the interaction of fluid material effects. The analogue drawings as shown are image-adjusted stills of an otherwise durational process of mixing, repelling, contracting, or material resistances which initiate the drawing as a field underpinned by sensing over deciphering, meaning they are better described through density then area, for example. The drawings are multi-scalar, textural, atmospheric, sensate, and tangible material compositions through which field, zones of indeterminacy, material tendencies, boundaries, and effects are curated through color, texture, transparency, shifting hierarchies, and idiosyncracies.
