Abstract

My initial proposal was to have 12 works, 3’x6′ hung as an installation, for the viewers to walk through. I didn’t end up getting the space that I had hoped for, which dramatically changed how I decided to hang the work. The space didn’t lend itself to an installation, but because of the funding for the project I felt that I needed to have the work on campus, so I settled to have it in the HBLL 2nd floor gallery. This was a little frustrating to me because the whole idea behind the series was to contextualize graphic designs in a traditional painting environment. Technically it works because there have been paintings in that hall before, but the space is not a designated gallery, in the traditional sense. I also didn’t make 12 designs as I had originally planned. Time afforded me 10 pieces. I don’t think it would have made the show any stronger to have 12 than with 10.
