Sweep & Puncture

During my exploration of reassemblage with sawed and pulled apart pieces of toys, a formal language emerged which pushed my project forward. The language consisted of an interior / exterior argument. The newest form is a destination  of sweeping, faced with extraction and replacement to experiment with interior / exterior sizing and existence. The frames, correlating with the field drawing shown, determined the shape of pieces. These pieces can be entirely or partially taken away. In plan view the sweeping shapes puncture the floor plates showing the travel of light previously mentioned. The lower level and ground floor are composed primarily of public space including small and large gathering spaces with a large exhibition area. The upper floor is the artist’s living quarters which wrap around the center main stair. The stair follows the same sweeping language as the forms. Each step sweeping upwards, downwards, and side to side. They group together to morph into walls, floors, ceilings, podiums for viewing and even seating.
