Abstract
The intention of the work that supports this thesis is to provide a space for the viewer to suspend the exterior world and move into a space where he or she finds a line of questioning and a cyclic experience that ultimately leads to self-reflection. The microcosm and macrocosm enlarged and reduced, respectively, to human scale, allow one to experience this phenomenon in conversational dialog. By conflating the limits of the universe, the participant becomes omniscient within this configuration of large printed works on paper. Texture, line and variant translucent color provides the viewer with a multi-sensory experience. Interaction of the viewer with the installation activates the space with movement, light and distorted shadows. This metaphorical reflection provides an isolated experience within an architectural structure that addresses issues of the role of humanity as well the role of the individual affecting the space.
