Exhibits & Interpretation

I love objects. Some of the most rewarding exciting and rewarding work I do is to share objects and their stories with audiences of all ages. One of my favorite ways to do that is through exhibitions. Exhibitions are an ideal format for displaying and interpreting objects of all kinds, for combining multivalent expressions of ideas. Oral, written, and sensory experiences work together to convey big ideas and subtle details of history, whether displayed in cases, period rooms, or shop windows.
