At my day job,

I created

the illusion

of a floating line.

Notice the door detail

BELOW.

Paper is taped to the door,

with a break, so the door can open

as it should.

I love this illusion

very much.

The students at my day job had been gluing colored construction paper to a shoe box to hold their Valentine cards from fellow classmates. I gathered up the scraps and began to make a vertical collage off one long long long long long long strip of construction paper that went up up up, almost to the ceiling.
