DESIGN NAME: Illusory Space
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Space
INSPIRATION: My sculptural work is inspired by Nendo's "Thin Black Lines." These lines appear as two-dimensional sketches moving in the three-dimensional air. In my work, Illusory Space, the black and white strips — two dimensional — extend into three-dimensional space. Continuing the metaphor, Illusory Space ends and begins, repeatedly at the ground and in the air, ie the ceiling.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Visual illusions are created when 2D graphics merge with 3D structures. Here, black and white 2D vinyl strips extend into 3D space via black and white wood structures. This creates a Moire effect. As the viewer perceives the sculpture and approaches it from different angles, patterns change. Lines intersect in different manners leaving the viewer wondering. What is creating these patterns? Why are they changing? The viewer is involved and puzzled.
Installed at the art museum, the sculpture with its wood structure return merges with the existing curved ceiling. Ceiling and sculpture appear as one.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in March 2015 in Michigan and finished in May 2015. It was exhibited in the Cranbrook Art Museum in May 2015.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This work illustrates an interaction between 2D and 3D space. It creates the Morie effect - a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or dots superimposed on another set of lines. The sets may differ in relative size, angle, or spacing. As I extended both black and white strips, there are more and different layers depending on the perspective of the viewer. The methods to manufacture this sculpture joint is with the utilization of a CNC machine - Computer Numerical Control. This is a method of automating the control of machine tools by software embedded in a microcomputer, attached to the tool.
CHALLENGE: The greatest challenge in producing this artwork related to the actual structural components which needed to be accomplished with limited labour and time.
