Habitat

Wood, hardware, and tape, 2007.

Approx. 6’ x 24’ x 18’. 

Habitat takes its form from a piece of styrofoam packaging, enlarged to nearly room size and constructed of wood. When a viewer enters the room, she is confronted with what appears to be a wall. After walking around one end or the other, she discovers the rest of the structure which can be walked through and climbed on. The construction is left intentionally incomplete, and the floor plan for the unbuilt portion is mapped out on the floor. This was presented at the Kipp Gallery at Indiana University of PA.
