my thesis exhibition, as i graduated form the BFA program at Northern Kentucky University, consisted of photographs, fiber, and hanging sculpture (ceramic hearts suspended with aluminum chain).
the temporary walls formed an 8x8 foot box with a 4 foot wide door. the photographs (made digitally from negatives taken with a Holga), were sewn onto dyed red paper, and tacked ot the wlls with T pins, each a nude with a definition below it, modified from the dictionary definitions for words such as: worship, sanctuary, gender, womb, and heart.
the suspended hearts served both as a decorative element, and a device to keep the viewer in intimate proximity to the images, lest the back into the hanging sculpture and cause it to swing.
