“A sense of whiteness is brought to the space by the simplicity of the spatial layout.
Warm light pours into the space through a narrow opening, illuminating half of the room,
whereas the beauty of light resides in the shadow. Surprisingly, as intangible as it seems, the orange light keeps travelling between blackness and whiteness, until it finally falls out of the space and reaches the outside.”

The first part of the exercise seeks to translate a two dimensional representation, painting <Sunlit Interior> by Edouard Vuillard to a three dimensional sculpture. The attempt aims to take in one prominent spatial feature of the patining---the window, to construct a view apparatus with an aperture which captures and tunnels light, reflecting the general tranquil atmosphere of the painting.

The second half of the exercise challenges the student’s ability to spatially imagine the volume of the inverse of the sculpture. Here, in order to retain the sepearation of the volumes, wooden rods were deployed as structural joints.
