Harrison is an architect and artist from California. He was trained in a restoration office of historic modern and American style architecture in Los Angeles. His own work aspires to endemism, placeful and specific objecthood that is composed of and dependent upon the space of origin. His fealty is to the biological, and he is particularly allergic to enclosure and management. His work seeks an alternative steady state, a postmodern celebration of the human dimension, and a deeply serious nouveau-submissive posturing with respect to the unbuilt. He is a plant grower and amateur botanizer/ecologizer with eyes on the ground. The art and the architecture are wings of a midpoint practice that might best be coined landscape; the art is the thing in focus, the architecture is in the mid peripheral, and the third space they invoke is the landscape that encircles them and generally escapes peripheral vision. His intention is to lend objecthood to this largest landscape angle from the limited domain of our own sensibility and scale, to imagine and build mechanisms through which the object of our landscape can return to us, that we might be able to rediscover the comfort of the three walls which once constituted our niche. His design group is currently called nonmetropolitan.
