Workspaces

The idea for the images in this series came from an interest in the nature of work and in the nature of the physical workspaces we occupy. We adapt to spending long hours for years (indeed, decades) in a few square feet of space each day while we work. Although initial reaction to these workspaces might be pangs of claustrophobia, there is also a certain aesthetic to seeing a chaotic clutter of things crammed into spaces no larger than 15 x 20 feet. How do you design a minimum amount of space to maximize functionality and efficiency? How does space affect behavior and attitude, especially when such long hours are spent confined within incredibly small spaces?
