I explore the potential of design ideas in model form. Model making comes early in my process and I am prolific in showing multiple throughout the design process. Each pass clarifies a question or an idea. I am sensitive to the presence of the performer, as visual anchor on stage, and my designs take advantage of the compositional potential of a scene. This can be a very efficient part of the process and sometimes it’s much more emotional.

Each sketch or rough white model always shows a proposal for a scene or scene shift.
