Project: Using a 24x36 piece of cardstock, without cutting any pieces away, use orthagonal scoring patterns to depict your idea of a "threshold"

my definition of a threshold was a borderline, a place of becoming, though i wanted to leave some earlier themes i had explored of "threshold of pain" and the like. I also wanted to explore the tension between digital vs analog - this began with the "becoming" themes [before, after and a quantum jump in between, hence the 'threshold' being the moment of jump] I want to post earlier versions, but basically i came up with a 'structural system' of strips cut in opposing directions interlocking. I ended up with a box which I "pinched" at the bottom to create the central chamber with ribs (before the "pinch" the project was very orthagonal, and I got a lot of "m.c. escher" comments.. after the pinch a lot of "santiago calatrava" comments... DEFINITELY an improvement, I think)

Anyway, here's the distorted product of my mind... its supposed to be the tension between the mechanical and the emotional, and it happens to make some cool spaces too, depending on the scale on which it's seen (project conceptual, no scale given )
