Martin House Pier Cluster Laylight, Frank Lloyd Wright
Since I was
a child, I needed symmetry - long before I knew that the word existed. Even
when I would doodle when I was young, everything came down to shapes and
symmetry. I also loved art, and I felt I had a creative soul. I looked for
creative outlets that could include symmetry, but they always felt like two
opposing forces; two sides that could not coexist. Then I discovered Frank
Lloyd Wright.
His work, and the style of the Arts and Crafts movement and the Prairie School,
showed me that creativity and symmetry could coexist. It wasn't until I went to
college and learned that Wright was a part of a larger idea that it all came
together.
This is my interpretation of the Pier Cluster Laylight in the Martin House. It
is my homage to thank Wright that my need for symmetry could be creative.
