Installation Photos!

Installed in the Shearer Art Gallery at Transylvania University
Thanks to everyone who came to see the show! It had a good run and 11 memory jars were created using the capsule making station. If you didn't get a chance to visit the gallery check out the slideshow below to see some photos of the final installation.

Connecting with people on this project has been really exciting and fantastic. I hope that it can grow into other communities and venues. I'm currently working out a plan to do just that and will let everyone know what it will entail once I've got more details pinned down.

Thanks for being so supportive of this endeavor!
