Description
Summary:The author's installations explore the relations between physical space and perceptual space. The reduction of architecture--concerned with the molding of physical three-dimensional space--to images--two-dimensional visual representations--can be investigated as part of these relations. The author discusses her installations by tracing the historical path that brought us to the connection between a three-dimensional world and its two-dimensional representations. Perspective renderings, false perspective and trompe l'oeil imagery are reinterpreted through the use of contemporary technological media, such as computer graphics and video.
