A Home Inside a Hexahedron
Jerry Thompson & Taylor Zorzi
A Home Inside a Hexahedron is an interior space that extrudes outside of its confined limits spilling onto its exterior. A work about space and conceptualizing space, A Home Inside a Hexahedron reveals a house that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. The home is deemed the one place where the most private and intimate moments occur. A complexity is masked within the simplicity of the outer membrane. The viewer, devoid of privileged access to these private moments, apprehensively approaches the work that contracts and expands dependently on audience proximity.
A Home Inside A Hexahedron manifested itself through one distinct question; how can we materialize an object that is realized in the mind despite its physical inconceivability. It seems beyond the bounds of possibility to produce an object, which contains a volume of space that is larger than its container. We were challenged to translate immaterial matters of the mind into physical space and objects. The claustrophobic nature of the private moments which take place in one’s home is translated through the arrangement and construction of the objects in space which make up that home; the walls and the furniture. As a result the viewer is introduced to an entangled world, bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
