Translating Fluidity


This project was a 4-week intensive studio to kick off my 3 years at Rhode Island School of Design in August 2010. I began by making charcoal drawings of the Providence River, which I then translated into a topographic map. The map developed through a system I imposed relating elevation changes to the values represented in the drawing. The subsequent models then aimed to express the invented landscape in different ways.
