Floor To Ceiling

Our group consisted of 3 people and our goal was to connect the floor to the ceiling. We were to consider the physical and conceptual ways of doing this.  Our group decided to physically connect the floor to the ceiling by using translucent fishing line to connect to the ceiling which then connected to each of us and then attached back to the floor.

We decided to take this project in this direction to represent how we are all connected to this place (UW) and therefore we all have a connection to each other. The translucent fishing line represents that even though we don't always feel connected to one another, our connection to UW brings us together. In our display, even though you can't clearly see the fishing line attached to the ceiling, which attached to each one of us, which then attached back to floor, it is still there connecting each of us together.

We each had the role of figuring out how to attach ourselves to one another while all being attached to a string going from the ceiling to the floor. We did this by having another string go from one members head, to my heart, to the other members hand, which then connected back to the first members head. We did this to represent how big of a role using your head, heart, and hands are in creating art.

The elements and principles of design that pertain to our project are:
Lines: They are translucent and represent the bond or goal we all share that brought us together here at UW, even though we can't always see or feel how we're connected.

Shape: Is geometric, each set of lines create different triangles representing each bond created with each other and our site (UW).

Direction: We have lines going vertically, connecting us to our site. We also have horizontal lines connecting us to each other.

Color: We Used translucent fishing line to represent the bond we share that we don't always necessarily feel. We also all dressed in black to show us as being unified.
