RECENT PROJECT
DENNIS MAHER > I photographed this ongoing project by artist/architect Dennis Maher. Dennis has some interesting stuff going on. In his words > The hybrid art/architectural practice of Dennis Maher explores critical approaches to demolition, renovation, and restoration. In 2009, Maher acquired two adjacent vacant properties slated for demolition in Buffalo, NY. He has since begun to transform these structures through the continuous collection and reorganization of salvaged building materials, domestic objects, and furnishings. The houses are regarded as frames for formulating an alternative domestic infrastructure, a fluid site where the patterns of daily living meet the instability of matter. Maher’s project casts aside the exterior shells of “home” to reveal an inverse living-scape where walls are not static barriers or dividers, but animate and organic communicators of matter, places, and time.

I will periodically post a recent project here that may be of interest. It may be a single image or several images.
