Involuntary House is an enclosed two story structure with a roof that directs rainwater through it’s interior. The second story houses a series of ducts and basins that combine the rain with dried pigment. Over the course of the exhibition, layer upon layer of tinted water will trickle down into the ground floor creating evolving rivers of color over an elaborately constructed interior landscape.
