Abstract Details

2011, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Ohio University, Art History.
This paper was written to accompany an art exhibition by the same title which was up in Trisolini Gallery from May 3rd to May 7th at Ohio University Baker Center. It details my reflections on the show itself, as well as my influences in its creation including a brief summation of the Steampunk movement. It also examines the ideas of collection, reclaiming Wonder as an approach to scientific pursuits, Otherness, nerd culture, and morbidity, as well as fairy tales and the idea of storytelling. It also includes numerous pictures of the exhibition itself and of some of my inspirations.
