On a Rainy Day
Hats and Bags
Quiet Storm (subdued disruption)
Inspiration:
An abstraction of an eye of a storm drew inspiration for the color and material choices. The mix of wild forms and complementary colors evokes a sense of excitement and disruption. The image, showing the effects after an earthquake to a street, inspired the choices made in determining lighting and display pieces. The main concept behind choosing the materials is Quiet Storm. After some research behind the meaning of each word the focus in this project is Subdued Disturbance, small moments of a change in arrangement or balance.
Color and materials:
A. A soft cool and worm gray for the walls
B. Noraplan environcare Winterbark rubber flooring
C. Vetrazzo’s Palladian Gray recycled glass counter
D. And dark and light, blue and orange accent colors for the cupboards and walls.
Lighting and Display Pieces:
Torn Lights - Crevice, Dog Ear, and Hangnail by. Billy May
The lighting elements create a focal on specific products, as well as strengthen the idea behind the concept by giving the effect of a rip or tare in the wall surface.

The display pieces represent a strong pattern that can be broken in an instant.

A glass show case on a pedestal, containing sixteen German made porcelain figures from the 18th century that represent Italian comedians from the theater, is arranged in a gallery dedicated to displaying artifacts from Germany in the late half of the 18th century. Each of the original fingers was modeled with fluid lines that create a sense of movement. The in the case the fingers are arranged on different levels, the positioning of each figure to the next is meant to emulate the sense of motion and a fluid line. Within the gallery the artifacts and the display cases are arranged in a way that creates pathways from each piece to the next reinforcing the idea of flow and movement. The gallery is vibrant and lively with colors and forms only when there are artifacts with such characteristics being displayed. As to be expected in a historical art museum setting the gallery is plain when it is empty. The walls are flat white and the floors are a light cream laminate, the only sense of color in the room washes from the artifacts. The separation walls and pedestals are geometric and blend in to the floors and walls. The room allows the artifacts to speak for themselves. With overhead spotlights that illuminate the room at night and natural light washing over the room in the day the artifacts are displayed with a sense of importance. I a gallery setting one cannot help but to focus on the items being displayed without distraction.
