Jessica Wheeler, Fall 1999: note use of contact paper for roads, fields and sky; look closely at those roads!

4. Mazes

Eric Carter, Fall 1998
Amanda Belanger, Fall 1999: the goal is to start at any one of the X's and end at any other, traveling between the lines.
Doris Newbury, Fall 1999
Jodie Nelson, Fall 1999

But that doesn't do justice to the many nice maze projects---it just so happens that most of the good ones are too big (like Morgan's poster-size footprints in the park maze) or aren't 2-dimensional (like an eyeball and a cube I got in Spring 1998, or Kate Isherwood's triple mobius strip maze from Fall 1999) or are too complex to put on a home page (like Tony Martins's many-layered, and virtually impossible, maze from Spring 1999). Eric's maze above has the virtue of containing several different maze types in one maze.
