Improvisational Jazz with Right Angles
This fun loving, energetic couple gave me free reign to fill a space in their stairwell of their multi-level condo.
My challenge: A 10-foot ceiling and multi-directional views of the wall that includes looking up to the piece as you are climbing the stairs, being close to the wall while reaching the landing, and looking down on the piece from above and to the side. This is not your standard gallery wall!
My solution: Five pieces in total to fill 72” of space top to bottom. Walking up the stairs, interest is immediately captured on the lower pieces, moving your eye upwards as you climb the stairs – keeping your attention as you ascend the stairs, forcing you to turn and see it from other angles as you move closer to the top of the staircase. Negative space is more visible as each piece is directly across from the eye, filling with more color as you move to lower or higher viewing areas – all giving the impression that the small colorful pieces are trickling down from the top all the way to the bottom.
