Rooms within Rooms
Looking at images of how Allison Katz
had created a ‘room within a room’ in the
gallery, gave us the idea that we can create
our own rooms. The materials and tools
available gave ideas for our creations too.
We started by using colourful tape to mark
out shapes and spaces on the Studio walls
and floor e.g., creating the illusion of a
doorway or way in.
Then, we built rooms inside cardboard
boxes using coloured papers, mirrors,
lights etc., creating a safe space to look
into, maybe with a story, and giving
different angles and perspectives through
the windows.
