The Plan -
Find out what this world (the one I intend to create with my rug installation) or moment within the world is, seek answers to the questions above. Start the archive of worlds - textures, colours, yarns, sounds, lighting and images based on research from talking to people. Think about the mirror on the ceiling ( To add to the immersion) Look into the donation of the rugs after use? - beyond the project? Start the journal for process and reflection.
