Enlarged to Show Texture: Senior BFA Thesis Exhibition 2012

As a familiar inset on cereal boxes, the phrase, “enlarged to show texture” creates the illusion of the actual appearance of a product (reality) and with it, heightens
expectation and desire. Sometimes a closer look is rewarding; sometimes the illusion disappoints and leaves expectations unfulfilled as reality is encountered
upon opening the box. As such, “enlarged to show texture” becomes a symbol for the relationship between promise and experience.
