Black Box | White Box
The movement of ink on paper, the dynamic moment of contact where the ink claims and occupies the blank space has a sense of immediacy, spontaneity and fluidity. The remnants of that moment are different densities of colour, which when followed as a journey, are a range of experiences that are grand and inviting here but stark and confined there. While the ink feminine and free, fabric is masculine; although malleable, it is restrained.
The weave of the fabric embodies structure and form. Its system speaks a physical language that enables the qualitative nature of ink.
Space the city is an eclectic mix of similar such experiences and a culmination of spaces that are activated when occupied and travelled through at different speeds. The box is neither black nor white, but a series of thresholds that affect and change the nature of space. Space is dynamic and attains it's complexity through adjacencies, engagement, flow, expansion, tension, continuity and density. Hence my project attempts to address these thresholds and spatial relationships in order to propose an alternative means of experiencing the city and enhancing the occupants' sensory relationship with their surroundings.
