We're replacing the large four-panel presentation (called a polyptych) on the back wall of the gallery and, when completed, it will present a scene at a scale – about 10' x 7' – that will give the appearance to the viewer of actually standing at the base of the falls.<\/p>\n
Years ago, in the airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we saw a giant wall display of a Clyde Butcher <\/a>scene from the Everglades so large and captivating that it transcended the notion of a "documentary photograph" and, for a moment, it was almost like being there.<\/p>\n So, although normally we'd be less inclined to highlight this type of image – an apparent documentation of a natural scene – there is something about the very tactile qualities found in the elements of this scene – delicate ferns, textured rock, flow of water – and the sheer size of the presentation that warranted the decision and, we hope, will evoke in viewers a response similar to the one Butcher's image had on me years ago.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
