When planning a piece for an exhibition the main concern I was focused on was the art of interaction. With the underlying theme of Colloquium being conversation I was immediately attracted to the personal dialogue that you would usually think twice about saying aloud. With that being said, I wanted to merge the idea of a church confessional with the scribbling gossip on a bathroom stall.
Through teamwork, my collaborator and I were able to come up with Vent and the final result is exactly what we were achieving for. The act of releasing true words behind a thin curtain can be daunting but we have had a few brave individuals express their unfeigned feelings which is exactly what we were striving for. I could not be more pleased with the final piece and look forward to future shows.

Vent is best described as a nondenominational confessional booth. With this project I wanted to give people a privet location in which they could freely talk with out judgment. With the finalization of Vent in its physical form and its many corresponding extensions, I believe that being in an exhibition, Vent stood out exponentially by showing my interdisciplinary skills as an artist and a designer.
