2 weeks ago I noticed a narrow recess in between the cubicles at USC, so I shoved my head in there to see what it was all about. I’ve been working on my thesis for over a year now, and my brain is starting to look for other projects to focus it’s attention on, so I ended up fixating on this:

Original measurements and Concept art.
I wanted to make the 7.5″-wide recess a vacation for the brain, and I also didn’t want to spend any time or money, so I made a mural for the back wall, used some old christmas lights, styrofoam, t-shirts and ugly party beads. Katie helped convert the beads into a bead curtain:
Here it is after the install:

Installation help from Andrew Malek.
Now, with my dream realized and my legacy at USC securely fixed, I can move back to thesis reinvigorated and distraction-free.
