some loose project ideas
Tassles/ribbons attached to cieling of my room following the line of where the plaster fell out
working with the bawdy speakesy esthetic of the wallpaper and furniture--trying to make it more whore-housey and less chelsea hotel suicidey, but definitely working with the latter continuously. ribbon tassle curtain with outward facing painting (of a horse? horse power and anarchy? probably.) from the organic line shape created by the part of the cieling where the plaster has fallen.Goal is to create a gentle and organic/meandering spatial dynamic within the stark and scary chelsea hotel-esqueness of the room kim and i sleep in.
3 different lighting options:
Lit from above/outside of the curtain-this
emphasizes the surface of the ribbons. From the door of the room and
and bed to the left of the door, the surface pattern and the painting
on the ribbons becomes most prominent. For the occupier of the bed,
the silhouette of the ribbons comes out.
Lit from behind-when
the occupant of the corner bed behind the curtain turns on the bedside
light (perhaps an intervention into this situation also to be
considered), the silhouette of the ribbons becomes predominant--shadow
puppetry also an option
No light-when there's no light, it's dark. Glow in the dark paint?
next you can cop a feel at the psychedelic roulette wheel, located on the top floor. bigish, maybe 6' diameter wheel-of fortune style wheel with loosely defined pie slices which is also a topographical time based MAP, mostly made of fabrics, chicken wire for varied depths. Path for the ball to roll is valleys and riverbeds instead of the circumference of the wheel. Costumed elsewherians gamble their livelihoods on video. Big hats, possibly lampshades
but my favorite idea just came to me while i on the phone earlier
The SELF HELP office building described in the previous post re-designed to actually BE a center for self actualization of many literal levels.
yes. i think this may be the one. cardboard. Photo of the actual building becomes the cladding for the the model. Height should be around 6 feet, so you relate to it as a human figure.
