Ideation & Process: MIA Exhibition 2



River to Infinity - The Vanishing Points
Mixed media, installation view

This entire installation (which includes a stone path that viewers can walk across, two rotating headless horses, and others) calls for attention to detail through the material used to present the idea and concept of River to Infinity. The horses especially are covered entirely in a jewel-like material.



Unknown Work Information -Coming Soon-

We chose this textile piece because of the amount of detail within the texture pattern on the fabric. All of these little dots and splotches create an interesting effect.



Red-figure Hydria
Earthenware, colored slips

This Grecian vase depicts finely detailed ornamental designs--from the figures to the repetitious patterns circling around the vase.



Collage IX: Landscape, 1974
Wood

This piece was pretty obvious. The collage covers an entire wall and is composed of many small detailed pieces of wood, all of different variations of browns and grays.



Transformation Mask, 1993
Cedar, pigment, cloth, string, wood

We chose this piece because of the intricate designs placed all over the mask. It isn't fine, small detail, but the intricate work provides us with a different kind of detail--a kind that we can still appreciate.
