Cormier got his education during the “postmodern” movement which saw the blurring of lines between the historical, contextual, and what he calls “a bit of tackiness.” He labels himself a “landscape conceptualist” and neither an intellectual nor a modernist. He favors one clear idea per project, clear naming of a place, and the ability to transmit a message quickly.
