Gallery design proposal
Netting over the astands
Fabric drapery designed by Donna Whitt
Shannon’s Poly-Kroma exhibition proposal
The chosen gallery design consists of mainly two components, the netting effect with transluscent holographic lining and the layering of colored fabric. I had my initial idea covered the netting portion only, and it was combined with the fabric drapery by Donna.
This was my original proposal document containing details of the idea with different materials as well as the costs per item. Our budget was $2000, and the total cost of the netting depended on the amount of materials that would be needed for the exhibition.
