Lines

I'm continuing to think about and explore the constructed and perceived planes and boundaries in our living spaces; the way the wall meets the floor with a flush join, and the way the table top is perfectly positioned above the chair seats, and the floor is flat and fills out all the room and even goes beyond the door to begin another room.

I've been thinking about these all being made up of lines, and how if we were to deconstruct (on slightly) all these planes and boundaries we would just have an ambiguous collection of hovering lines. Then we would have to re-perceive the shapes and channels that are formed; maybe they are longer boundaries at all. With our new perception, we could make new behaviour: in this way as i've already said, lines guide behaviour.

Changing the vertical into horizontal (and vice versa) could incite a very thoughtful new perception about our movements within a community and a place.

Here are some sketches based on those ideas, mixed in with how to build a table and how important every single component coming from every angle is to the overall structure.

This text got me really into Donald Judd and i think he was quite important in giving me these ideas
