A Sac of Rooms All Day Long

Clear vinyl and fan blown air, 11’-0” x 21’-0” x 30’-0”, 2009.

This work is something too big inside something too small. The architectural features of this iteration are “drawn” into the seams through the use of black vinyl strips of varying widths. The widths correlate to the line weight that would be used in an architectural drawing. Thinner lines indicate less prominent features like moulding, while thick lines indicate the outer limits of the rooms. The inflation and deflation causes this work to continually fluctuate between something recognizable and a jumble of lines. An integral sound installation was designed by Yann Novak.
