Frank Lloyd Wright’s house Falling Water has become a modernist icon for the engineering of nature. A construction crew now maintains the house year round in order to keep it in tact. Part of the Water Falling project, these photographs are made from sculptural sets, or staged installations, that reflect on this dilemma of engineering going too far with nature.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s house Falling Water has become a modernist icon for the engineering of nature. A construction crew now maintains the house year round in order to keep it in tact. The Falling Water project is a Sculpture/Photo Hybrid. Sculptural sets are built using large scale photos of the house as raw materials. These sculptural sets, or staged installations, are then extensively rephotographed for printing. In the end, both the sculpture and the prints co-exist.
