Project Description
In this project examining materiality and perceptions, the design team examined wool. The aim was to utilize wool as the device that engages a viewer and shapes the perception of the space.
The installation consists of recycled-yarn threads in orthogonal alignment with over 12,000 lines forming an assemblage of fifty-eight vertically suspended planes. The design explored the architectural notions of layering, superimposition, flat vs. depth, space vs. object, and exteriority vs. interiority and how material perception influences our readings of and the movements within the space. Constructed in the lobby of a university building with thousands of people passing through each day, the installation engages the occupants of the building, inviting passers to navigate within and around the structure.
The ensemble of lines of color composed against the backdrop of the light, people, and architecture alters the spatial perception of the lobby, reshaping the static and uneventful area into a vibrant transient space influencing people’s movements and interactions.
