ART

Hood Design Studio’s artistic practice emerges from interest in and observation of the mundane objects and quotidian events populating the public realm. Art forms are gestural, and create meaning through their relation to preexisting patterns and practices. The studio’s work attempts to reveal and activate the benign, looking to existing site elements—the sidewalk, the sign post, the tree canopy, the narrow stream—as infused with emergent beauty, strangeness, subjectivity, and possibility.
