Model


The doggy structure above can be seen here to be pushing the 'waiting room' into the earth.

And the bracing seen here, is a futile attempt to fight the weight of the structure above.


The 'waiting room'. This space is supposed to be calm, and plain, much like Hopper's painting, it is a place devoid of references, and the only thing in it, is potential.

However, even from inside this 'calm' space, one can see that something is wrong, almost like looking out the window of a sinking ship at the angled horizon, the weight of the structure above is destroying the tranquility, and time is running out to put the space to use.


The structure above is deliberately haphazard. As if built one part upon another, the structure is held together with a series of doggily placed nails, screws, rope, and and bracing.

Although it is not obviously evident, the chaotic structure has throughout it a series of walkways and ramps connecting each area, what it does not have however, is any space where one could stop, and be sheltered, or relax.

The structure is made up almost entirely of shelves.



This image deliberately captures the foreboding shadow of the structure above, encompassing the 'waiting room'.
