Melon Skin
10 September - 23 October 2021
(extended through 06 November 2021)
The exhibition included photographs transferred to collagen, applied to melons. The rotting images and melons were replaced with fresh melons and new images weekly, resulting in an exhibition evolving daily. Each of the eight iterations included a theme and title as indicated below. The images and melons were changed each Monday, and remained on view through the following Saturday.
