Value in Leisure Environments

Mental fatigue, largely from overstimulation, affects many people today. Perhaps there is value that can be found in simply slowing down and pursuing an activity of self-interest. Serious engagement in leisure activities constitute restorative experiences that uplift, rejuvenate and help in rediscovery of oneself. This project crafts restorative experiences in the environment of an art studio. It does this through the careful use of form, material and light.
