5th Floor Stairwell Installation

Okay I had a hard time creating a visual for this so you’ll have to bear with me a little bit. My idea is to have one of those 3D sculptures that looks different from each angle hanging from the ceiling at the top of the stairwell. As you came up around the stair loop from each side it would read “S C C A”.

I have no idea how to do this kind of thing but I think it would be cool to learn and would create a fun, semi-interactive piece for visitors to see when they came up the stairs.

Freedom to…

In response to Christiana Wu’s “Freedom” vignettes.

Freedom to Express

The first time I went to college I was going for theater arts. I took a playwriting class and wrote a one act play that I was extremely proud of and got a lot of compliments from my fellow students. My parents wanted to know what I was working on and I shared it with them and my mom was upset because I’d included a character who was gay. She said some rough things and I still think about it, obviously. I ended up dropping out of the class. To this day I censor any of my work that I share with my folks. So if I were to create something embodying the freedom to express, maybe I would give that one-act a rewrite.

Freedom to Explore

To me this sounds like working on a project that uses a new skill. I’ve dabbled in Unity in the past but I would love to explore that program further. I’d love to just have time to work and expand that skillset and create a little game. Something simple just to get my feet wet. To me the freedom to explore has a lot of overlap with the freedom from expectations so it was difficult to separate the two.

Freedom From Expectations

Speaking of: If I was to make something that was totally free from the expectations of others, it would be a dance video. I think dancing is fun, but I would hate to do it in front of anyone else. Like this would be a project I would work on in secret and never show anyone. But if I was “free from expectations” then maybe I’d release it, who knows. Could be the next Numa Numa Guy.
