“Meeting Point” is a paper installation project. This architectural form and sculptural piece arches over the gates that stand at the main entrance to Chi Wah Learning Commons, and invites us to engage in an unusual dialogue with its surroundings.

The Artists employ the unconventional medium of recycled paper, which is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity and is easily torn. To control the material and form complex designs, the artists use computer technology to mathematically measure and create the large-scale curves of the arc. Filled with air, this once flat and imperfect material rises up and its new form bears the infinite potential of imagination.

How do we interact with the work? We walk round, go through, touch and look at it from all perspectives. There is no fixed point from which to stand and appreciate. It disrupts our normal journey up the stairs to the Learning Commons. In this creative dialogue, from being passive ‘viewers’ we become active ‘participants’ and this subjective experience makes us realize that we have reached our meeting point.
