We ended up putting Champaign Mining piece at Manifest Gallery, Cincinnati in the front window among the works from a group show called Burb. The assistant director Tim Parsley and I thought it would look good illuminated all night. Here's the piece and some details. I have blogged about the idea behind the piece before - it is an attempt to track the exploration of a new city. Each layer of acrylic represents a week living in Urbana IL. For each location I record in my latitude and longitude project I cut a hole in the corresponding layer. Holes from previous layers are continued through the stack and overlap new locations creating an ever greater void equating a greater experience of the city.
