Thesis Exhibit
It was a tricky thing to photograph my installation since it was quite dark. My thanks go out to Jenna who took photos (on film!), but her camera was fooled by my exhibit and so the resulting photographs were washed out. I planned to make a second attempt with my digital camera—manually stopped down—on the last day of the exhibit before packing up. Yesterday, I brought my camera and tripod but left my 128mb card at home (feh). Instead, I had only the measly 16mb card that originally came with the camera. I tried to make the most of the four pictures I squeezed out of it.
From left to right (click on images for larger photos):
1) The cabinet on its pedestal. The catalog sits on the shelf. The artist statement is contained in a silvered, distressed frame (to match the cabinet hardware, natch) mounted on the wall behind the pedestal.
2) A 3/4 view of the outer doors and inner doors opened. The drawers are velvet lined, faced with marbled paper (by Galen Berry) and opened via grosgrain ribbon tabs. Each drawer is labeled.
3) Section “B” with its contents artfully exposed (artifact styling courtesy of Caton). A “dramatization” (heh!) of the visitor’s experience—normally the artifacts are not hanging out of the drawers like this. It looks neat, though, huh?
4) A close-up of the catalog. (View a pdf of the catalog content [2MB].)
