The Golden Archetype’ is a mock architectural blueprint of a building that combines my fascination with American mass culture with the most ancient and awesome of architectural achievements, the pyramid. My work continues to be informed by American mass culture, and nothing epitomizes that culture more than the cheeseburger, except for a giant, multi-stack cheeseburger.  With this piece, I’m alluding to the American attitude of anything you can do, we can do better’ as well as to our contemporary societal tendencies toward excess
