Spatial Design
Week 7, Labyrinth

I thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Library of Babel". Having no previous
knowledge of the reading, at first I thought it was a Greek text
detailing some ancient library. After a page or two I realized it was
either fiction or extreme exaggeration, and finally I looked up the
details of the story and author, fascinated to learn it had
been written so recently.

In response to the library I sketched my own labyrinth, in a style I
have been drawing since I can remember. It is all done in one resting
of the pen, one flow of consciousness. The style of the line slowly
changes as the drawing progresses, first fluid, then a bit more jagged.
Close inspection reveals faces, viewing it from a distance reveals...?



Responses have likened it to a contour map, or a weather pattern.
Jean-Marc suggested I add narration, perhaps make it into a terrain, or
change the intensity of the color based on the energy level of a
traveller. Perhaps I could film parts of it, not revealing the whole,
using a spotlight.
