This work is potentially the most important part of my body of work for the exhibition as it will hopefully communicate most clearly my ideas about how we deal with our surroundings.
I have constructed a spiral in the well of the photography stairs using sellotape. I started at the bottom and worked my way up, overlapping the strips to form an organic looking form which shows off an otherwise invisible spiral in the negative space between the banisters.
The tape creates a tension within the spaces, as if it is holding it together, even though the form looks fragile. The space is unified, from the ground floor to the top, as if I have created some sort of vertical panorama. I hope this will make the viewer aware of their positioning within the stairwell and let them be able to gauge their ascention and descention within the space.
