A wallpaper highlighting the temporary phenomenon of the contemporary world. It is a commentary on the temporary quality each of us has and hopefully inspiration to go out into the world to create something that isn't as temporary as we are. It is a study of color and how color toys with out vision. The colors are intentionally chosen to create a fuzziness - the letters appear to vibrate. I chose a serif type because of it's formal quality. I didn't chose Times or Calibri because they seemed too banal. This font is a take on what we are so accustom to.

Gel wax model |
A human floats between 4 feet and 1 foot below ground level within the Palazzo Stampalia Querini. Using plexi glass, museum board, dye, glitter, and water I flooded a 1/8" - 1" model of Scarpa's first floor renovation. Rather than controlling water like Scarpa did, I unleashed it to illustrate the levels below ground that a human can occupy. The darker the water, the farther below ground level a visitor is. I then re-made the 1/8" model and flooded the space with gel wax in order to have a solid version of what was shown in the first flood. The varying densities of the gel color illustrate the dye within the first model.
