Nov. 1st 2012Prepared for: Prince William Studio ArtistsPrepared by: Wayne Rockwell FowlerDear Prince William Studio Artists,
I propose an artist's residency to transform the common room
space. I propose to reside at the studio for the duration of theproject (approximately 1 month) and in this time frame use the
common room / bathroom / kitchen area as a canvas to rejuvenate
the space and revitalize it's aesthetic energy. All changes welcome
input from the
studio artists
and will evolve
and develop
organically. I
have beenimmersed in
eco art
construction for
5 years and will
show some
documented
work in this
proposal.

The philosophy behind ancient architecture and the reason why
something existed was not depended on one factor. Ancient
building practices incorporated many important and divine factors
into their design process. The alignment, aesthetics, physical and
biological make up, size, space and location of the medium of a
particular element placed where it was placed connected the
relative colossal, celestial and the quantum level all in one. It's
purpose was not only to create a space but to resonate and vibrate
in tune with the Earth it was grounded to and the Universe it
existed in. In my practice, it is my intention to create spaces with all the
above factors in mind, for the modern world.
