Final Report
INTENTION As a site-specific comment on formal procession of space, this installation is intended to “choreograph light for the moving eye” (Plummer, 54). The piece continues the datum line established by the separation of private studio space from shared circulation and common areas, and is positioned to inform a terminus to this procession and complete […]

Thinking and making
Last week I formed my idea about how the installation would occupy the space. I had an idea of it being a double-sided screen which would flow towards the windows. After evaluating the site and the logistics of hanging the piece, it has become a more rigid idea which more closely fits with the existing […]
A "subtractive barrier"
Location From where shall the project begin and to where shall it end? The original project brief focused on the unresolved quality of space division between studio and kitchen. The ambiguity of this barrier, while real, as a physical desk marks the line, calls attention to the undesigned nature of this last bay and seems […]

Towards a final project
Over the past few days I’ve been wondering how to design something visually stimulating for the kitchen even on these rainy Portland days. I had thoughts of reflective surfaces hung from the ceiling almost like white raindrops with a reflective inner surface that would bounce light and create light movement due to vibrations from the […]
Donald Judd
Tomorrow I will talk about Donald Judd’s work. I found this interesting video about one of his works at the Des Moines Art Center: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsjboCLw7H8[/youtube] I also liked this audio clip about his work from the MoMA collection: Here are some more links about the foundations which continue to promote his work. One Hundred Works […]
Exploration
My thoughts about my final project have changed since exploring bounced color and light. Before I was most interested in how to create “color shadows” (the effects of stained glass but without light penetrating a colored translucent material) but after analyzing the quality of the light at the place of my proposed installation, the south […]

Test Capture
From assignment 2, adding color. [flickr-gallery mode=”photoset” photoset=”72157626374991965″] I was looking for a way to bounce color without giving away the color source to the occupant. In this way, the space is color-malleable due to time of day. The day starts with a warm red glow emanating from the right side and ends in a […]
