Architecture of Awareness is a solo exhibition of recent sculptural work by New York-based artist and architect Seth Howe, that invites viewers to reconsider how they see and experience the world.  Drawing on a lifelong fascination with the relationship between the body and the built environment, Howe creates geometric structures that function as instruments for seeing rather than objects simply to be observed. Built from repeated forms and modular assemblies, these works prompt shifts in viewpoint, movement, and attention, making the viewer's body an essential part of the experience. As the exhibition's title suggests, awareness is not presented as something fixed, but as something that can be cultivated, much as architecture influences our experience of physical space. For Howe, making art is a form of inquiry. His sculptures, works on paper, and video invite viewers to pause, look more carefully, and recognize perception itself as an active process - one that continually shapes our experience of the world.
