Apparition/The Styrofoam Symphony
Friday, August 20th through Friday, September 17th 2010

This exhibition showcases two City Center proposals that each expose the effects of human activities.
The Styrofoam Symphony is a sound installation that uses Styrofoam as the medium and
conceptual drive to bring about issues such as mass consumption, the
environment, and public naivety.
Using ambiguity to expose the limitations of human perception as an informative tool, Apparition showcases abstract graphite drawings and manipulated digital imagery to challenge the viewer's
perception.
