DON QUACKENBUSHI have always been visually oriented; perhaps that is what led me into Architecture.
My 30+ year career has been as a “non-design architect”- technically oriented architect “—working to make the conceptual by others constructible, habitable and enjoyable by those who experience it. During many of these years I allowed my pragmatic side to overshadow the creative side of my personality. Compositions stem from what I term “generated doodles”—hand drawn pen/pencil doodles—simple at times, complex at times—- “doodles” serving as a springboard to explore varied aspects of visual pleasing images; enjoy them as I do…...
Stemming from a sense of organization of components, elements and ideas are “all about” and how these components generate a multitude of differing forms and compositions. The computer has allowed expanding the exploration and experimentation potential of these conceptualizations in their various forms, colors, shapes, compositions, textures, collages; this suggests no end to the possibilities—-off shoots and mutations generate entirely different works feelings and emotions. At times purely two dimensional, at other times a representation of a concept modeled in 3D from an original doodle; abstract in nature…. yet the ability to stir the imagination is intriguing, exciting and fascinating. I hope you enjoy pondering them as much as I enjoy exploring and creating these compositions.
