Yasmine Afshar's Proposal

For my piece directed to students, I would like to create an installation using lasercut pieces of wood hanging in a series that look linear from the front.  The viewer will be able to look through the areas cut out and see the wall at the end. Instead, the viewer should look at a side view and see the motion the piece creates as a whole.  I want the form of the woods together to convey an experience taken out of time.  I hope the piece will evoke reflection (looking back) on something that seems linear but in fact is not.  Hence, my memory of soccer is connected to a vast amount of people and places.

My other idea is to use leather instead and laser cut through that to create something to feel.  Sense of touch is important to me when I relate to my experience with soccer.  The material comes from the leather of the soccer balls to evoke memory.  The leather would be placed not on the wall but somewhere else in the space.
