We have spent around four weeks exploring an imaginary line that runs the length of our campus. As we have explored this line we have gathered information, analyzed it, organized it, and experimented with different forms of documentation and presentation. Our final project is to be a culmination of this process. The focus of this […]

This collection took some thinking. So far in my collecting I had focused on ideas. I decided to continue that theme, but I also wanted to use some physical items. This is my though process. Graffiti is something that can earn you suspension from school. If I was on the line I would want my […]
Suspended Reality
The line that we have to walk is conveniently placed along the paths that I walk everyday. From class, to swim practice, to the dinning hall, I find myself repeatedly crossing the line. This idea of “crossing the line” made me think of what other lines can be crossed, not so much in a physical sense, but more of a mental sense. Suspension as I discussed earlier is the blocking or prevention of something. When a person suspends reality, they cross the line into a world of fantasy.
As I walked the line I tried to collect a record of places where reality could be suspended.
The parking lot near the gym has been closed off to cars. Now all that remains of the once grassy field is patches of dejected brown vegetation and lakes of clumpy mud. The mud sort of reminded me of a lake. Instead of ugly and hazardous, lakes invite people to interact with them and allow plant life to flourish. Building off of this idea I took the parking lot and placed row boats from central park in the center.
Sometimes when I walk through the woods I get the feeling that the trees are watching me. Like the feeling you get when you think someone is behind you and there is really nothing there. But what if the trees could see you? Where would their eyes be?

This collecting was a bit of a process. Suspension, in chemistry is when a liquid is so full of a substance that particles are then suspended because they cannot be dissolved. So naturally I headed towards the water. However, as you can see, merely photographing dirty water is pretty boring. I started to put leaves […]

One of the definitions for suspension is when a person is attached to hooks and suspend in the air. Personally I find that a bit disturbing, but it got me thinking. If I were suspended over the line, where would I want to be? I decided to collect places for possible suspension. Hair Pin is […]

This is my brainstorming collection. When thinking about my collections I realized that my word is more theoretical than physical. There are several concrete definitions for my word, but in order to be truly creative I think I am going to have to collect ideas more than objects. This collection started out as collecting ideas […]

Today in class we were assigned words. My word is suspension. When i was brainstorming my definitions of suspension I though mainly of things that hang. My favorite example was suspended in time and space and the idea that light is suspended in time when you take a photograph. In high school my favorite media […]
