Threshold, deals with the idea of the bridge between reality and imagination. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's, Through the Looking Glass, and more recently Frank Beddor's, Looking Glass Wars, Threshold presents the viewer with an opportunity to cross back and forth between imagination and reality. The piece is a simplified ramp which acts as an invitation to participate with the piece. Above the center is scented air which pumps down onto the individual to gently provoke them into their imagination or back into reality. The olfactory sense is different from person to person creating infinite reflections of imagination. The ramp itself is completely symmetrical save for two symbols at the base of either side one signifying reality by thinking within the box, while the other represents imagination by thinking outside the box.
