Piece Statement

To: Faculty at the Chicago Shed Aquarium

I am writing this to you in hopes of having one of my art pieces placed either inside or

outside of the aquarium. My miniature diorama is similar to the structure design of coral and believe having it at your facility as an interactive element for kids to climb and play on is just what the aquarium needs. Once constructed it will be made from rubber so it will be safe to interact with. It will make a wonderful addition to the aquarium for kids to get out extra energy

and play on. The structure will have tunnels to crawl through and feel like they are inside a giant coral. Even gives guests the perfect opportunity for a photo-op. Since the structure will be made from rubber, it can be placed outside without weather damage. Having it placed outside in the front of the aquarium could draw people into the facility. Children walking by will be tempted to play on it and thus luring people to come inside. If placed inside for guests, it will make a great resting spot for adults and play area for young children. Please consider my proposal and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Walsh
