The assignment offers several tempting directions. The physicality of the paper cube itself establishes a resonance with the physicality of the geometrically squared room within which the cube assignment was given. In winter, in Canada, the physicality of space is an interior one. Taking pictures selectively of the room’s interior discovers a variety of flat surfaces which suggest the creation a cube which mirrors the surfaces of the room; turning into external faces the textures that internally line the cubic space of the physical room. Yet leaving that space, its immediate hallways draw the viewer outward into infinitely receding cubic forms. Placed onto the surfaces of a story cube, those receding geometries of the halls would violate the planar sanctity of the paper surface, drawing upon it depths into the flat surfaces that purport to describe our spatial reality.
