Genius Loci

  • Cindy Ou
An outcome for visualising Chelsea College of Art which place is famous for fine art. The project is to capsulate the spirit of a space and visualise it in any formats, and the spirit I found from the place is relaxation. I decide to make the outcome to interact with people that makes them feel relaxed visually and physically, which it turns out to be a big handmade cushion painted in a pink toilet and blue sky, as regarded to fine art it’s always painting that comes to people’s mind on the first place, and contemporary art pieces are difficult to understand and make people curious about “what is it”. Besides, the fun combination of the appearance is a relaxation sign itself already.Moreover, before computer widely being applied for making design, graphic design had been approached by hand making from the very beginning, which is also an echo I want to express through this project.
