STAIRS

I tried to heavily relate my stairs to the form of the studio's in an attempt to keep the same motif relevant throughout the entire space. The first stairs belong to the idea of blood as a fluid and cascading form which is in constant motion. Hence the waterfall like composition of stairs connects the idea of 'Louise Bourgeois' studio as a place of blood, gore and psychological trauma as evident through the work 'Destruction of the Father' to the studio space below. 

Contrastingly, the political allusions to Ai Wei Wei's work 'Sunflower seeds' echoes the memories of marching footsteps as one steps over the installation. The idea of movement and warfare are cosntantly recalled within the work and that is why i used the word: 'marching'. Step #3 are sharp, regimented and strict in its form as it travels down to Ai Wei Wei's studio. It is the downward motion which forces users to 'march' down to the bottom and experience an environment which is chaotic and loud; much like warfare.
