Line to Line by Phillip K. Smith, III
Architect and designer Phillip K. Smith, III has created “Line to Line,” a temporary installation at the Royale Projects gallery in Indian Wells, California.
Description of the installation:
Could two-dimensional marks be the window to a three-dimensional space beyond? Transforming from a line to a line, this piece creates a distinct exterior and interior relationship with the space within which it is contained. Between the opposing “lines” lies the dimensional structure of the sculpture, defining at once its peripheral skin and the internal space of the form itself. Shifting between two and three dimensions, the linear graphics of this interior space suggest the perspectival representation of an infinite void.
Dimensions: 10′6″ wide x 10′6″ high x 14′0″ long.
Materials: Polystyrene, Styrospray, Latex Paint.

I don’t quite understand the movement between the two lines here… It seems each line of a plus sign has moved in opposite directions & increased its scale to carve the space… I would’ve expected one line to rotate 90 degrees in space & become the 2nd line.

…I think it’s more about transformation than rotation. It’s like taking a wire coat hanger and pulling it into a new shape while walking forward. The volume described by the path of the wire moving through space is similar to what the artist is doing here. Sorry, not my best analogy…
