"Sanctuary"
Orientation in the gallery space and a model of the structure during planning and construction. It gives you a better idea of the overall layout and what I mean by 'Pillar Room', etc.

"Sanctuary" was built between August 1993 to April 1994. It was a structure nearly eight feet tall and covered over 265 square feet. It was installed in the Haynes Fine Arts Gallery on the Montana State University campus over a three day period beginning April 15, 1994. I have a limited record of the exhibit - it was destroyed shortly after the show. My fellow grad students and friends helped me over those few days, and my gratitude extends to you all, thank you!
Also, special thanks to Rayovac Corporation for donating the keen flashlights.
