vignette |vinˈyet|*
noun
1 a brief evocative description, account, or episode.
Within the Christensen gallery, Vignette employs a few simple devices to
create an experience with time and value. Estell was inspired by the linear
design of the gallery to create a timeline with a series of changing objects. A
collection of live common houseplants covered in gold leaf became these
objects. A series of golden vignettes inhabit and stretch across the lengthy
wall of the gallery accentuating the feeling of distance and momentum,
progression and regression within the spectrum. As the days of the exhibition
pass, change will naturally occur in the state of the plants’ lives allowing
the audience to observe the subtle effects of the material interaction and the
explicit nature of decline within this scenario.
