Loving the Moment
By Kathleen Caricof, Installed 2000
I have a passion for design, multiple materials and their processes—and working with my hands. For more than thirty- years my focus has been on designing for specific spaces. Whether that space is architectural or environmental, I approach the design challenge with deliberate consciousness, choosing design elements and materials that fit the site and work in harmony with the environmental context.
My degree is in Industrial Design from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where I was lucky enough to study under some incredible designers (including Buckminster Fuller ) and work with visionary corporations, like PPG Glass, Texas Instruments. Specializing in sculpture was a lucky coincidence. After designing a nine piece commemorative sculpture for the Beta West/US West merger, I fell in love with the process and began to explore the limitless possibilities of materials and form that sculpture offers—and my journey began.
