PERIPHERAL FIELD

The installation will consist of three spaces: an enclosed room with two open rooms on either side. The enclosed room is only visible through three separate windows, located in the center of each of its three walls. This darkened room functions as a camera obscura, showing a glimpse of each room to the room opposing. The walls of the two open rooms will be a glossy white (reminiscent of enamel). They will have various variations of grids: grids of small view boxes, grids of string, grids of papers, grids of drawings. There will be a wire running along the top front of all three rooms, defining them as a space. On the rear wall of each room will be a shelf or lectern with writing in artist's book form.

The project is intended as an investigation of how perception shifts with perspective, of how the camera obscura created at its center is dependent on its two framing rooms. While circling around and looking into the camera, the viewer will see how absence shapes and defines their perception of their surroundings. Through a combination of drawings, writings and prints the space heightens the viewer's awareness of how crucial framing is to perception.
