Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To create 160 low-relief paperboard and plastic reliquaries created from my own conserved package waste, and housing small items of my personal detritus and ephemera. I will mount a public exhibition of the 160 finished reliquaries and post photographs of the process and finished product of the series on my personal artist website. 2: I will conduct research on religious reliquaries and Christian and Islamic pattern-based art at Minnesota Museums and on the internet. I will present my findings on my website and/or in a free, public artist talk.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I produced 160 paperboard and recycled plastic reliquaries, displayed them in a public exhibition, and posted the process and results on my website. Documents were made of the final exhibition, and a show card was produced. Images of the event were also posted to social media. The goal was to produce 160 reliquaries, and 160 were produced. 2: Images were posted to my website, images of the talk were posted on the college social media. Posting images to my website, take documentary photographs of the public talk and post them to social media.
