The Room The goal of this exercise was to understand domesticity through image research, drawing and interpretation. Using images as reference to recreate in three-dimensional form allowed for consideration and attention to minor details. Taking a framed “room” from the Jones Beach Energy & Nature Center and reinterpreting it as a inhabited living room by adding domestisized objects. Articulation of the furniture and close attention about how light responds to the varying structures within the space.
