I've found myself getting bored with school and traditional projects lately, and because of that, looking to other things to occupy my time. I've started doing some mixed media installations around my apartment using whatever I can find (why my roommate has boxes and boxes of candy canes I don't know). The newspaper project came out of my idea to do something to my bland room and my thinking about the blur of the differentiation between wall and ceiling in architecture. By blanketing each all the surfaces with the same neutral material, the room becomes one-dimensional, and anything placed about that background (posters, art, drawings, etc) becomes even more powerful as a positive object against the background (at least I hope that's how it will work). I figured my room was a perfect place to experiment. Right not it's only under the futon, but I hope to extend it out along the walls and ceiling as well.
