Kelly,
I have so enjoyed the stream of consciousness approach to the blog.
It helps me to really understand your train of thought.
I like how you have set information on paper and then questioned it. We must never stop asking questions.
In our work, we constantly look to alternative expressions of railings.
There is a great book of stair designs published by Phaidon (I think).
A railing can add to the sensual nature of climbing a stair.
Metal; if explored as a series of parts can become art (Scarpa) so that its flexibility and versatility is tapped to the extreme.
I love to play with metal as if it were paper….it is so strong and yet so playful.
When you are here we will visit lots of metal shops.
Railing gives a sense of safety and yet is can engender an emotion of excitement and precarious pleasure.
One line can change your relationship to moving space.
Rubins really is the perfect artist for your explorations.
Even the metal that we are familiar with is contorted and played with by her.
An airplane wing is no longer that.
Railings usually sit on the ground…..hmmmmmm.
