Original Outcome Summary 1. Acquisition of the supplies and materials. 2. Completion of a 20-piece hand-carved wooden relief series. 3. Exhibition of my work at the Great Lakes Aquarium for 14 weeks during the Summer of 2019. Thanks to the funding of this grant, I was able to acquire the tools, supplies and materials that enabled me to create a 20-piece hand-carved wooden relief series. My exhibition is showing at the Great Lakes Aquarium for the entire summer of 2019. All of the original outcomes have been achieved, with the minor detail of the exhibition duration being approximately 13.5 weeks instead of 14 weeks total (due to GLA's scheduling of installation).
