Chamber


<Chamber> is a work that requires the viewer to enter it and walk amongst it's many varied walls. The forms making up the components are generated from the petals of flowers. It is not a particular flower but a composition of many different varieties that forms the <Chamber>. The curved and organic forms rise to as much as four meters, creating a particular sensory experience for the viewer. The wall forms are not flat like most architecture. They are largely concave allowing the viewer¡¯s body to imagine flowing into them, they are gentle, wave like configurations. But in journeying through to the middle you realize that you¡¯re being restricted, the walls are closing in.
