I would like to render digitally fabricated (I know, I know) paper cutouts of odd, mythical creatures inhabiting tableus inspired from Jorge Luis Borges, Book of Imaginary Beings.  Above and below are some examples of how this might look like(not to scale). This project seeks to inhabit liminal space existing somewhere between Joe Hamilton’s Hyper Geography and Anna Garforth’s Wandering Territory. Taking advantage of the unique, odds-and-ends of Scholes, it might prove interesting to situate such tableaus in peripheral, atypical settings -  under or above a stairwell; nestled inside a hole in the wall;  suspended below or above a skylight. I would really like to highlight the illusion of a microcosm/tiny world using a combination of shadow lighting, projection mapping, and perspective. Ideally, I envision the paper responding to a person’s presence using Shape-Memory Alloy(my blog post about the subject), where leaves and vines might shudder and slither or creatures animate, using flexinol wire, similar to the work of Jie Qi.
