Chrysler Museum of Art Glass Projects Space
September 22, 2016–January 15, 2017 | 798 sq ft

Through a poignant installation of life-sized objects made from exotic woods and string, as well as shrine-like forms crafted from steel and glass, the acclaimed furniture maker, educator, and artist makes a compelling case for the preservation of two endangered animals in the wild of Africa, the elephant and the rhinoceros, and the carnage left behind by poaching and the illegal ivory trade. 

Exhibition took place in the Chrysler Museum’s Glass Project Space, a rotating exhibition space devoted to contemporary artists. Exhibition graphics included a redesign of poster material provided by artist into electronic panel graphics. At close of exhibition, Wendy Maruyama requested the files for future exhibition venues.
