Pairs in Place

Here's how our install turned out.  Read this about the project first.

Three Pairs.

 

This is the raw table Victoria's husband Tom built.

We glued hard foam to a piece of plywood and screwed

that to the tabletop.  This is the base we developed so

the fruit could be 2-dimensional yet free standing.

 A school group stopped to investigate the finished fruit.

 The approach from the upper level/Bradley Collection.

The backside reveals the naked cross-section of the fruit.

The two lemons were voted out during installation but we were still pleased with our results.  Our intent was to create the illusion of a three dimensional still life in a two dimensional format (in response to the photo gallery).  The Art of the Table event begins tomorrow for four days of art-inspired tabletop creations.  Click here for more info.

Fruits at the Table

Been working on the table setting for Art of the Table which is already next week.  My friend Victoria and I have been throwing ideas around for the past 6 weeks.  Just finished these images of the fruit that I mocked up as they might look on the table.  The black line will be the drape on the table.  The pear will be tallest at 36" among the other fruits in our over scaled still life.  Each fruit will be be mounted individually and carefully placed amidst the 96" x 14" table - long and skinny.  The fruit is big and thin.  Let's see if this works.

Schedule: Print on Monday, set up Wednesday at 11am.  Ready, set, go.

In the meantime, get tickets for Alberto Alessi, his lecture is Thursday, opening day of the event.
