Julie had made a few dioramas for friends. The purpose of the dioramas was to remind the viewer about events in the past. It was intended to create an ambiance of warm nostalgia through these works. Artist, Julie Rall, made them out of cardboard and random craft supplies. The possibility of creating a large-scale work using the aesthetic principles of the intimate diorama fascinated me. For the installation, “A Soft Landing” in Building 5, Julie created a diorama that one can walk into.
