I feel as if I have clearly communicated my ideas (blur, fluidity, weightlessness, distortion and disturb) through my proposed threshold model and broken the ordered reality of the existing gallery with fluidity, light and softness. The threshold starts from the top of the stairs (outside), into the lobby and gallery and continues to the back wall of the stairs down to the gym.
The light-box pattered dome ceiling is very similar to my project one model of the curved acrylic screen with patterns scratched onto it, except i’ve transformed what was a light display to a into a light dome ceiling.
The distorted mirror doors give my model an interesting effect, when the light bounces off the reflective surfaces creating soft shadows of the pattern from the light-box patterned dome ceiling.
The columns symbolise the colonials that built on-top of what was once Maori land, and the silhouette figures reflect back on the colonials, pre colonials and people who had been in that space in the past.
