9. CONCEPT & IMPLENTATION CONCEPTIMPLEMENTATION Create a pathway making the person feel progressively smaller; upon entering the exhibit room, they feel “surrounded” Gradually lower the ceiling, narrow the hallway, and dim the lighting Prepare the person to view Lavender Mist before entering the exhibit room Use light and shadow to replicate Pollock’s painting on the walls and floor in the pathway Make people feel “surrounded” when they view Lavender Mist Create a circular space with the architecture and use light as a visual to emphasize the curvature View Lavender Mist how Jackson Pollock painted it Use natural lighting from skylights giving a full spectrum of light around the painting
