The Spiral Staircase of Isidora

November, 2001


Taking a writing class at an art school yields strange results, such as this piece. After reading Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, we were assigned to create an art piece representing one of the cities described in the book (the entire book was 1 or 2 page stories, each about a different city). The city I chose, Isidora, described a spiral staicase I fell in love with, and loved creating.
