Today's offering is a diptych from The Museum Series of an "exhibit" of mule deer. The first image is the piece as a whole, the second image is of the paper diorama of two fawns that live inside the first panel and the third image is of the slide that will be housed in the second panel. I photographed the slide through what is called a "loupe" atop my light box to show what's all going on there. All slides and View-Master images will also have a magnifying glass attached in the piece so it can actually be seen and give that feeling of being in a theater.

As I've mentioned before, each piece will have its own lighting added that folks will be able to activate by pressing the black button on the piece. I know this goes against everything art museums drill into people's heads about not touching artwork or even getting too close to even look at a piece, but I'm intentionally breaking ALL the rules by encouraging people to physically interact with my pieces because that's how I roll. I want people to explore what's inside and really drive home the fact that you are looking at an exhibit through another exhibit and experience that pure joyous sense of discovery. Yes, I realize now in our scary germ infested world this will probably present future issues, but I'll cross that bridge when and if I ever get to it.
