I am showing an installation art piece at Sculpture Guild Annual Show this Final Friday.
Surface: Sculpture Guild Annual Show
Opening Reception: March 29th, 2013 6:00pm - 10:00pm
Place: Basement of Mid-America Fine Arts Gallery
401 E. Douglas, Suite 300, Wichita, KS, 67202
The theme for this year's show is 'surface.' When I heard the word 'surface,' I immediately thought of a 'dryer sheet.' I started ironing, cutting, and ripping them.
I went to a laundry frequently and collected used dryer sheets. The ladies who are working there also collected them voluntarily and gave them to me every week, which became a big help. I also asked some customers if they could give me their used dryer sheets. Some people asked 'what are you going to do with them?' They seemed liking the idea that I was going to use them for an installation art.
This is part of the space where we're going to have the show. It is a huge basement owned by Mid-America Fine Arts Gallery in downtown Wichita. I went there several times and spent time there to develop the idea.
After one and a half months of preparation, installing the work started three days ago.
The support part was set up thanks to a Guild member's help.
The opening reception is in just a couple of days. I hope the show will turn out great!
