She also helped me lay out where the pedestals would go in advance. Mackenzie was instrumental helping me invoice the show with all those required details like price, size, medium. The actual work of getting paperwork and work ready was done with the help of my very able assistant Mackenzie Patterson. This required that I begin with a floor plan of the space to work with from the Bascom. my hope it to guide the viewer on their walk without their awareness of my intent.
I also wanted to slow the viewer down by the way the pedestals were placed. The levels were added for visual interest. The pedestals have been stacked to create a type of geometric interpretation of a topographical map. Therefore, I have displayed the work so the viewer will be looking down to view it. It is these treasures that inspire my work in clay. I am usually looking down as I discover all manner of Nature's treasures. In this case I wanted to invite the viewer to take a slow walk in order to view my work. My walks are slow, meditative and meandering. The first step after conceiving the idea is consider how best to share your idea visually. I thought I would share some details that will demonstrate the complexity and challenges of such an exhibition.
An exhibition which is an installation poses special challenges.
