Nov. 1st 2012Prepared for: Prince William Studio ArtistsPrepared by: Wayne Rockwell FowlerDear Prince William Studio Artists,

I propose an artist's residency to transform the common room

space. I propose to reside at the studio for the duration of theproject (approximately 1 month) and in this time frame use the

common room / bathroom / kitchen area as a canvas to rejuvenate

the space and revitalize it's aesthetic energy. All changes welcome

input from the

studio artists

and will evolve

and develop

organically. I

have beenimmersed in

eco art

construction for

5 years and will

show some

documented

work in this

proposal.

Project Proposal



The philosophy behind ancient architecture and the reason why

something existed was not depended on one factor. Ancient

building practices incorporated many important and divine factors

into their design process. The alignment, aesthetics, physical and

biological make up, size, space and location of the medium of a

particular element placed where it was placed connected the

relative colossal, celestial and the quantum level all in one. It's

purpose was not only to create a space but to resonate and vibrate

in tune with the Earth it was grounded to and the Universe it

existed in. In my practice, it is my intention to create spaces with all the

above factors in mind, for the modern world.
