"Re:Construction: A Visual Preservation of Houston's Innerloop."
Through this project, I utilize the City of Houston website to track the demolition of residential properties. From November 1st, 2007 until the onset of the installation of this project (predictably 6 months), I locate these properties by referencing Sold Permits online. I am recording the dates and locations of these subjects with Excel spreadsheets, traveling to the location of demolition, and photographing at these sites. After 6 months of documentation I will be able to provide a cumulative collection and/or record of the residential properties within Houston's Innerloop that are inevitably to be removed. As far as imagery for the show, I will be focusing on objects from these locations and selecting a cohesive group. Additionally, there will be a map of Houston's Innerloop affixed to the floor, with numbered map points representing the houses demolished.
