[BCMA] Exhibit ideas?

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Tammy, intriguing challenge!

It might be interesting to enlarge newspaper articles, and create objects
from *them*.  For example, you could install an archival photo of a flooded
street on the wall, and then create a 1/3 scale row boat out of newsprint
to place in front.  You could strategically place the archival newspaper
articles in more visible spots on the objects you create, possibly printing
them on colour paper/font/enlarged font, etc.

This may take a long time, but would be pretty inexpensive and hey, you may
just become the area expert in origami:)
