THE GOURD ARCHIVE

This is an installation of illuminated hardshell gourds that I have shown in New York at the Helen Harwood Gallery, in Durham at the Modern Museum, and the North Carolina Museum of Art. Each gourd has a diarama and text embedded in the interior with an electric light for viewing. The lenses are from old projectors, guns scopes, and security viewers.
