Spatial Design
Week 8, Geo Labyrinth

My Labyrinth began with a 2D drawing, landscaping a part of my imagination. As
the lines twisted and turned, which spaces depict inner space versus outer
space?



My hope is that the viewer is drawn in by the twisting lines, which under
inspection reveal a myriad of figures and faces. For the next step to 3D, I
decided to step away from abstract lines, into geometric forms.



Rather than being merely an object, my desire is for it to affect the
space it occupies. I created a 3" triangle which hangs from the ceiling, in
the center of which is a much smaller 2D triangle. Should the user view it in
2D or 3D space? As the triangles hang, the object twists as a mobile.



The upper triangle, which is separated from the space we occupy, it
connected via conductive thread to another obscured object near the
ground. Thus the object is connected to our space as well. The purple
laden object also lights the floor, casting an image of the triangle shape
above. Thus it provides an entryway for the object's labyrinth space.
