Spiral Installation, Romanian Institute, Rome Italy

String was used to extenuate existing architectural geometries.
With an interest in the inherent qualities of stairwell spaces, I wanted to clarify and address the action of peering into the layered wrapped vertical space of the stair. Utilizing string, a simple and lightweight material, the seeming volumetric drawing reveals the complexities of geometric conditions in everyday life. Spiral is an instrument which makes ephemeral space legible, allowing one to occupy with the mind the spaces that cannot be occupied by the body.
