I have used images and drawings from the day we took a trip to walk around in Albert park to AUT’s St Paul’s Gallery in WB building.

Threshold

I had drawn the plan of the gallery and have included the atmosphere of the gallery. I have shaded in the gallery to indicate that the space is rather dark but there is some light entering the gallery through the window. The lobby has some lights ahead to create a brighter space, however, the lights are quite dim so it conveys a feeling of comfort in the room.

Alice Aycock has works in installation / sculpture / architecture. She appears to use the idea of movement/stasis as the sculpture is still but seems to have a movement that keeps going.

I’ve decided to try use the same focus on my installation in the gallery.

I plan to use a similiar concept from my project one and focus on the idea of movement/stasis.

Kengo Kuma is an architect who designed this pollution-absorbing architecture. I found it quite fascinating how this simple design is used for a big cause. It corresponds with what I had planned for my design as well.

Model

I have decided I would like the use plaster as the material for the installation, as I believe it would give off a clean finish to it. Also, When light shines through, it will reflect off the white area, which will make the space in the gallery more brighter.

However, I had used cardboard in the model as it is easier to work with for this project. But if it were a real installation then plaster would have been used.

As you could see the installation will be higher than a person’s height. I purposely made chose to made sure it fills the space, also making it high, so it would give a similar feel as if walking in the park as the installation would tower and surround the person walking among it just like the trees in the park does.

The space is rather dark but in the day when the sun shines through, creating shadows of the lines from the window but also will display waves of lines from the installation.
