This spatial installation is based upon a long and complex history of sculptural and architectural parasitic / symbiotic works that respond specifically to their environment.

The intention of this piece was to work within the building and fire-safety allowance for contemporary architectural space, while allowing for a freedom of design often ameliorated by lethargic and standardized practices.

By enveloping the spaces of this egresss staircase and ADA ramp, while still allowing for legal clearance requirements, the occupants of this building were able to perceive a space, which they pass through daily, in a new manner.

Many tenants appreciated the intervention, as it gave them pause to reflect upon the inherent possibilities in the everyday object and/or spaces around us.

The installation existing only momentarily,
for three hours.
