Creative Access Description
All the walls of White Room are painted shades of white. The left wall has patchy white bricks throughout and a section of wall protrudes outwards near the end. This section has a slumping pile of bricks atop it and a white frame on its outer face. The back wall is covered in a large section of four windows that are comprised of smaller window panes. The windows are painted opaque shades of white with the top two smaller windows also having shades of blue mixed in. The right wall has a large central section missing, exposing the white framing studs and smaller thinner white beams of wood that are broken away in a variety of lengths. White brick sections run partially along the sides and bottom sections. A smaller white space can be seen through the framing with a door leading into the White Room. In the main space, near the back, sits a large all-white sculpture. The sculpture is a structure of white bricks collapsing inwards with a central section rising above. A figure's torso emerges from this section, with its face extended upwards. The floor of the room is light but covered in a darker powdery substance near its centre that has footprints tracked throughout. Shadows from the partial wall fall across the darkened floor.Description
