Cells with string.
Biomorphic / geometric / cell structures.
I have used laser cut MDF and string to create these
objects. (No glue). A diptych: 2 cells finished with Indian ink, elastic
string and found objects. Artist and collaborator, I fabricated one cell, my
participator followed me and constructed the second cell. They are modular by form, similar to biological cells /
molecular structures.

One of his colleagues at Columbia University joked: "If
Kiesler wants to hold two pieces of wood together, he pretends he's never heard
of nails or screws.

Form does not follow function
Function follows vision
Vision follows reality

Metaphysics
Definition: noun
the branch of philosophy that deals with the first
principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing,
identity, time, and space.
Endless House is a conceptual work of
architecture.
Kiesler used the project to express an elaborate, personal
metaphysics based on the concepts of ‘connectivity’, ‘correality’ and
‘biotechnique’. The project was an attempt to merge the spiritual and practical
into a new housing typology.
