 he tactile nature of this artist's work eludes the traditional
stark presentation for art. Growth-and-Abundance as well as
Death-and-Decay are the subjects of her work. Faune tells their
story through a textured archiving of the natural world around
us. Each piece is not only about, but in fact drips with, the
effluvia that makes up life. She forces nature to take a hand in
the making of its own portrait: sun-prints, rotted paper, beewax
glazes. Faune then weaves these together with an innocent
handi-craft from another era. She is the curious 19th-century
collector gathering interesting specimens from her garden,
capturing botany in needle-point and cottage craft.
A presentation of her work laminated on boards in the pristine
book of a portfolio seems discordant, and yet if her work is
displayed on the self-same decrepit materials with which it is
made, the pieces lose their autonomy. The balance is found in
the mini-CD we created for her. Nature is allowed to set the
stage and provides the textured introduction needed, but Faune's
work is individually pulled out and highlighted.
The viewer can choose between a "slide show" and the individual
exploration of each of her objets d'art. We have successfully
created a lush atmosphere that mirrors Faune's work without
dominating it. From the moment the CD is in inserted, her
interests and aesthetic are being revealed. It is a seamless
presentation of her art in an environment that is anything but
antiseptic and dissonant.

This is a Flash-based self-executable file on a business card
CD-ROM. The Flash file is divided up into smaller units for the
detail zoom-ins and informational panels. These individual swfs
are loaded on demand. This keeps the piece performing smoothly,
without large amounts of data being constantly churned by the
computer's processor.
It has an auto-start feature for PC users.
