This past spring I wrote two proposals for 4Culture's Site Specific Art program. Art On the Spot allows participants to create their own self-portraits. The portable Camera Obscura is a large tentlike structure built with lightproof fabric. A small hole on one side allows enough light to come in to create an upside-down, inverted image of the scene on the other side of the hole. Both proposals received funding, and I presented one or both at arts events in Duvall, Fall City, Shoreline, Des Moines and Enumclaw. The photo of me inside the Camera Obscura is from Chris Goodenow of The Enterprise newspaper. The Camera Obscura would not have been possible without the assistance of the Widow Corder, who provided the sewing engineering and expertise.
