The context in which art elements are displayed impacts the gestalt as the work find a place in the space and the space accepts the work.
This site specific installation at Finestra Art Space in the historic fine arts building interpreted the display space, which has windows on two enjoining sides, as a museum display case visible from the outside through the windows and up close inside. The piece periodically included viewers who chose to breach the space.
The installation is designed with the ideal that each still shot from different vantage points is itself a complete image, breaking the viewing of overall piece into in between views as the viewer traversed the exterior of the display space.
Three views are presented here. (1) a view from outside the right corner through the second window; (2) an interior close up of a unit of elements on the distant wall; (3) a straight view from the inside through the first window, including reflections.
