One of the main things this project showed me was how there is so much beauty in the littlest of objects. hair is something that we usually take for granted -we all have it mostly and it is such a vital aprt of our identity on the genetic scale as well as on a purely vain tip. Another thing I wanted to play with in the final presentation was the idea of size contrast. This is why I have the box with the compartments and the tweezers so that the viewer will be able to extract the hairs if they wish to inspect them. This dainty size is contrasted by the larger light panels that would be covered with the even smaller view( high resolution scans) of the various samples. The juxtaposition of the tiny bottles and the large prints will create a nice dynamic between what is small being made smaller but then larger again. the box would be white plastic with seperrate compartments for the hair samples. the samples would be in uniform glass jars for viewing. There would be a small set of tweezers also housed in white plastic( Like the medical reference) . The larger scans of the hair would be uniform on the wall printed on clear acetate and mounted covering the largest light panels 16X20 maybe. Both forms of presentation would have a slick medical quality but hopefully the delicate beauty I saw in these scans will also come thru. contrrasting art and medical usese for the same samples.
