The book house website got a bit of an update.
The contents of Popcorn Orange Peel Knockdown document studies and sketches made in studio with wall texture and paint on drywall in advance of works to be made on the walls of future sites. Once the texture is applied, both the treated and untreated areas are coated with the original paint used in the space. The form of a work may be determined by spacial or situational features of the site. By only the addition of texture, the works highlight the wall as a monochrome while also pointing to the constructed nature of a site.
