STAIRS—More than a Vacant Look

A stare is a vacant look, but stairs are more than a vacant look—an art piece. Material, structure, and dimension perfectly describe stairs. Their application within a space is an art in itself. From one platform to another, stairs provide opportunity. Each staircase essentially became their own art piece through a multi-piece booklet, a series of notebooks, and an exhibit invitation that also doubles as a look-book. The book portion of the catalog enabled any viewer to look at stairs in their true art form. It features are collection of three booklets that stair step into the next. There is an exponential play between “stairs” and “stares” that deploys throughout the series. Sets of “stares” acted as reminders to not overlook the mundane tasks, and view them as an opportunity.
