Today on Willful, artist Heather Kocsis describes how tearing down a historical building scatters its stories. Kocsis makes wood assemblages of old buildings and back alleys that make us rethink our past and present. In Video 2, Heather describes:
• Hunting for inspiration in the urban landscapes of New York and Chicago.
• Deciding on a composition and building it, using layers of wood like a paintbrush.
• How buildings change our sense of community and our sense of self.
Learn more about Heather’s study of architecture and the effects of time at HeatherKocsis.com. Her multidimensional pieces are in public, private and corporate collections across North America, including the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto and The City Reliquary in Brooklyn, New York.
