fusing art, architecture, and design, woods completely transforms structures and spaces to create vividly different surroundings that merge reality with fantasy. wall and door and roof is an imaginative translation of various structural elements at city hall. woods’ faux renovation includes cladding the security booths in a printed facade of cartoon-like red bricks and covering a set of lobby doors in a printed graphic that is a replication of itself.
