My "Kawaii" World
Today was install day for show two. It was an all day event for me. From 9:30am to 5:30pm I was in the Cress Gallery installing. I never expected my senior thesis to take that long to actually install. My work is based on the world of the “kawaii,” the Japanese term for “cute” or “adorable.” When I originally started working on my thesis it was done in panels vs a staged scene. I am very thankful that UTC had a wide format Epson that I was able to use to print the pieces.
Each piece is secured by two lines of fishing wire. Using screw posts I was able to easily hang the work between the rafters of the overhang at the front of the Cress Gallery. I have to say that GlueDots were a God-send. They made installation a breeze. Especially since they come in various sizes. I was able to use the mini dots to attach hangars to the back of the pieces.
If you are in the area check out the Senior Thesis Exhibition – Show Two. It happens on April 19th, with artist presentations starting at 4:30 and the gallery opening at 5:30.
