Fragments
 by Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo from Lead Pencil Studio

This exhibit is located at SFCC Fine Art Gallery Building 6 SFCC Fine Arts Department
 Spokane Falls Community College
 3410 W. Fort Wright Drive
 Spokane. The show ran from October 26 - November 22, 2011 with the artists’ reception at 5pm, October 26th.

The Fragments exhibit is an installation designed to get the viewer to understand how much of the world we don’t see. The work is entitled “The Boss’s Office” and is a 3 dimensional mixed media piece, designed to be viewed from the center. The work is a life-size replica of a convenience store manager’s office.

Included in the piece is a desk and chair with a phone and lamp, a typewriter next to the desk, a fullsize file cabinet, a microwave oven with a hotplate on a stand and commercial grade coffee maker and a step ladder. All the pieces in the work only have the front of them, the parts you would see if you were standing in the middle of the office. Viewers standing outside the office can see everything is hollow and painted a matte gray.

very detailed work has been handcrafted from polygon mesh and has been designed to illustrate what aspects of the world we see and what we don’t. It highlights the parts of everyday life our brains are forced to interpolate. The exhibit really makes you think about what is really there, what may be there and what are we missing?

Overall this unique installation gets the viewer’s creative juices flowing. In addition it allows room for viewers to find their own interpretations.
