Using the framework of Peter Eisenman’s deconstructionist architecture as the structure for
this installation, three-nested oculi hover overhead. The three-dimensional form terminated
at the walls, creating a two-dimensional representation of the pattern. The color scheme
referenced the “supposed death of print” and the CMYK printing process.
