Screens of society and space
This project shows my criticism of the issue of gender divisions and limitations in society. Gender divisions create boundaries that not only have shown themselves in society but also have had important spatial and architectural impacts.
The personal significance of this issue led to my choice of this project in order to demonstrate the need for breaking the boundaries within both the society and architectural design.
I looked critically at the issue of screens in architecture and metaphoric realms. Whilst screens can be viewed as positive utilitarian objects, from my personal observations they are often used as barriers between people, especially between genders.
This project begins with an exploration of how screens can be used as tools to promote oppression and in particular the issue of gender segregation.I set out to make my final screen sculpture using metal embedded in Wax. The process of melting the wax was aimed to symbolise the possibility of breaking manmade boundaries and division.
