Thesis Exhibition
For the culmination of my thesis work on the Selachii project, I designed an entire exhibition space around the Selachii. The intention of the exhibit was to keep in line with the aesthetic of a seaside home, someplace that the researcher from my journals could have theoretically inhabited. I strove to keep things as authentic as possible- the driftwood was all salvaged from a river near my home, the books and artifacts on the tables were all antiques, et cetera.
My allotted space was the underside of a stairway, and a small portion of the exterior of the stairs as well. I did my best to utilize the interior and exterior spaces to transform my project into an immersive experience.
The exterior of my exhibition space- I used this space to show off my journals, my doll, and the cookies I made as takeaways for the exhibition.
Another shot of the exterior- each cookie had a different Lusi face hand-drawn onto it.
The exterior of the entrance to my area beneath the stairs. Also visible is my Hippolyta painting and my Spirachord prop.
The underside of the ceiling for the area beneath the stairs. Barn boards, driftwood, dried plant material, and some large-bulb lights.
Another shot of the interior- Hippolyta painting and Spirachord prop both visible.
Inside the 'cavern' of my area- close up on the sculpture I made of Lusi, and handwritten sheets of the music I wrote.
