Floating Bricks

This was the first idea I had for the wall. The overlapping papers looked interesting but didn't really work for the assignment in this shape. I then changed the shape to mimic the dimensions of the bricks as seen below.

I liked the way they overlapped at the corners. Now I just had to figure out how to suspend them where and how I wanted to get the right effect and look.

I took measurements of the space and of the bricks to get the shapes accurate.

I took over 100 pictures of the brick and use the pictures printing some onto matte photo paper to get the color and enhance the emphasis on the brick that I was focusing on. I taped the pictures to tulle fabric as my structural base and the light material allowed drafts of wind to move it as people passed by it on the stairs. Movement catches the eye, it also made the brick less stable.  Brick is a hard and stable material that can stand for more than just decades, if well maintained it could survive centuries. 

The Tulle holding all the pictures is nearly invisible.

When viewed at an angle the bricks overlap a little. Unfortunately, there is a little bit of waviness in some of the bricks and the tulle didn't hang as straight as I has hoped.
