Author Description

Excerpt from Thresholds, 2000 Turning both north and south simultaneously, the two-headed horse visualizes the struggle to belong. This martial emblem represents a separation between the dueling forces of desire and location: a whole body knitted together and tearing apart but always facing home. In this volume, one will discover borders and borderlands, both literal and internal, and the role ofthe built environment, both real and imagined, in such a condition. While some borders divide, others mediate between past, present, and future. While some borders separate nations (or even parts of nations) from one another, others partition individuals at home from those who would invade this territory. Finally, some borders are constructed solely mentally, requiring only an acknowledgment from a communal within.
