These drawings document the temporal journey of time, space and light at the Old Melbourne Gaol. It evokes a sensation within the body of space. It creates an imaginary depth, bringing the unity of time and space.

“our eyes only tell us part of what we need to be able to see. The other part is done by the brain, taking the input from eyes and making guesses or inferences about what’s out there in the environment. Usually,   these inferences are very accurate, but sometimes they lead us astray in the form of visual illusions.”                          

                                                                              - Scott Murray

Physically designing these qualities of space in the form of the Maquette model helped look at the space from a different perspective.

These receding lines indicate a single-point perspective leading to vistas onto the outside.

The experience is perceived as an array of controlled and monitored movements within the dark environment.

The idea is to evoke spatial dislocation occurring over a period, rather than within a single unit of time.
