For this installation, the machine and tubes form a closed circuit. Each manifold has a tube weaving in and out of the wall, inside and outside, reconnecting back to the still. At different points along these tubes, there will be demonstrations of water's seen and unseen forces. I will be designing armatures into the proscenium to capture these effects. I will be making invisible things manifest into a potentially integral part of the architectural project.
Drawing is essential to determining where the demonstrations will take place in the wall. After each time I run the machine, I use drawing to record the effects of the machine on the wall - where the steam is contacting the wall, where the changes of state are occurring. I then begin to draw the armatures. These pieces negotiate the structure of the proscenium with the movement of water. They are armatures for amplifying, measuring, & carrying water through the space.
