MFA Thesis Exhibition


Here is my thesis piece, With/in/Between at Lesley University's MFA Thesis Exhibition! The piece has changed a lot from the original install in January. I replaced the wooden frame with PVC. What a difference installing it!

The PVC pipes are like tinker toys to assemble!

Then I sculpted the interior plastic, redesigned the lighting to glow throughout the entire tube, bright enough to cast a shadow on the outside, not so bright to blind, warm on the color scale, and absolutely most important -  cool to the touch even after a week of being on (to not melt the plastic and torch the building).  This required three different lights, many dimmers, and never ending home depot trips. I also installed a super soft, squishy foam floor covering under the plastic. Voila!
