what lies between here and there is the title of my MFA Thesis Exhibition, which was exhibited at the Tufts University Art Gallery November 29 through December 16, 2007.
The project is, in short, inspired by the Parthenon, including the physical site of the ruins in Athens, the debate surrounding the Elgin Marbles housed in the British Museum in London, and the
full-scale replica
of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee. The subject of my
installation is the fragmentation, dislocation, and replication of the
Parthenon. The project represents an effort to investigate the idea of
place and the relationship between an original and its copy. The
installation incorporates architecture, print media, and concepts of the
souvenir to represent the complex impressions left by my travels to
London, Athens, and Nashville, and to explore notions of authenticity,
artifice, and desire.
