Process and pedagogy of VESTIBULE —

Over the last year and a half there has been such deep physical and academic work in building VESTIBULE. Here is a glimpse at the many many notes, ideas, musings, and photos throughout the process. Last slide is the first thing I wrote in dreaming up this work back in 2022. Write your dreams down because four years later you might have the opportunity and resources to make it💫
