Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I have three goals for this Technology/Equipment Grant. One, I would like acquire a computer necessary to resume making hand carved 8' x 4' wooden panels. I begin with hand-drawn sketches that I scan into my computer, project onto 8' x 4' wood panels, sketch and carve. My computer recently died, bringing my art production to a halt. Replacing this hardware would enable me to resume. Two, I would like to acquire lighting equipment for indoor photography to enable me to accurately present the detail and depth of my work. Three, I will implement a metal framing technique that will help the carvings remain stable through fluctuation in temperature and humidity. Goals Summary 1. Acquire a computer necessary to resume making hand carved wooden panels 2. Acquire indoor photography lighting equipment to enable me to accurately present the detail and depth of my work. 2.
