Student Narrative
Using the technique of tunnel books, Whales in the City is a light box designed for interactive play in which viewers can open and place different sheets of paper to change their color. When layering multiple sheets of paper, the color changes. This piece is hand cut with an exploration of different thicknesses of paper to give a sense of depth of field of a cityscape.
