Infinity Box

Shooting the interior of a 2' x 2' x 2' mirrored [interior] box, isn't overt. Marveling within infinity's dimensions of ambiguity, reflections of: contrast, juxtapositins, organization, mathematical suggestions, and socially constructed dimensions - is FUEL.

Meaningful and poinant, the reflections on water forced me to stop, stare, and daydream in childhood - the story about the dog seeing his reflection while standing on a bridge, believing his reflection was a different dog holding a bone in its mouth.

I experiment with the narratives' enrapturing ideas, suggesting the world I [choose to] see is merely a reflction of my self.

Pushing Straight Lines

Drafting Table

I hide behind abstractions, avoiding reproductions of optical truths. Drafting is a meditative starting point; I work with parallel lines & consistent angles prior to shooting a scene in the infinity box.

An architect, there was a time I marveled at the grandure of creating and cultivating space and spatial qualities. I wanted to be an architect. I've developed an understanding of [my] interests in the context of developing and manipulating space for both form and function; I never would have been able to play with the codes, restrictions, and material limitations.

Deep within a whimsical organization, reflecting on my responses to space - I introduce the pencil to the paper, without restriction.

Trying out the Fantastic Worlds

Chroma Key & Stop Motion

Christopher Alexander might argue that any space without regular human intereaction, is a 'design failure' of a space.

Any area with defined boundaries, usually by a name / title, I consider spatially specific - including those with zero human interaction, those spaces where crumbling souls swirl in stale, damp air.

Spaces host people. They may not think for themselves, but they certainly evolve in some twisted Darwinian ideology - survival of the fittest. They reveal themselves as a result of what treats the guest notices from their buffet of visual cues.

Installations can be the frontloading design mechanisms for designing how a personal feeling and emotions evolve while walking through a [public] space.

Wanting to Want

Revisiting Mathematics

Confronted with job (in)securities, letting go and moving on from original intentions is liberating.

SAYING FAREWELL TO:
There are struggles with the role of an adjunct. In the context of being an adjunct assistant professor, not having an authoritative credential is an income-based barrier. Although the knowledge acquired through the mastery of real analysis and abstract algebra has [overtly] nothing to do with developing fundamental algebraic skills in a developmental student - this lacking remains a limiting agent for receiving equal pay, instead of less than half - for doing the same job. You do the math while entertaining its cultural psychology.

Exercising the cliche of "Interdisciplinary Inquiry"

I'm playing with geometric shapes, insprired by staring off into the infinity box.

Reconnecting with a small version (2' x 2' x 2') provides greater ease experimenting with illumination and physical reach to change interior objects..

Working from 'witin' the infinity box enables progress towards possible narratives. What are the characterics from 'within' and how do they unfold, transform, or evolve?.
