our first project for surface research was to create a work utilizing fifty black and white, abstract images that were all related somehow. i chose to do a set of abstracted door hinges, representing all the paths one goes down in life - it's a little cliche, but those doors of opportunity that open and close all around you couldn't work without the hinges. these hinges come in all shapes and sizes.
i designed the work to look different from all sides, and even change as the viewer interacts with it. the viewer can open and close each hinge, revealing the opposite sides of the hinge - which are for the most part aren't symmetric. the hinges are also very close together, making it impossible to open or close certain hinges when others get it in the way.
which is also a sort of metaphor for life, you have to set everything up as a puzzle in order to make it work. certain things aren't possible without others being absent or present, in the background and foreground.
i have a better picture with a frontal view of the work that i will post tomorrow.
