Bloom
“Bloom” experiments with how a single tectonic element, in this case frames, can be used to craft a space by shading, filtering, and screening light. Trace paper was used in various forms to add to this exploration. The trace paper, depending on the instance utilized, either screens the light, thereby creating a sense of closure and privacy, or casts unique patterns of shadows on the space below. The shadows within the trace paper itself add a greater depth and texture, something that is also seen in “Bloom’s” exterior plane, made from basswood, as the layered frame pieces enhance texture and add a vertical directionality.
