Working as a preparator I have assisted in the fabrication and installation of dozens of  exhibits  - everything from photography to surfboards, cat sculptures to model aircraft. This work includes: extensive art handling, preparing furniture, fabricating acrylic and brass mounts, painting mounts, and sculpting foam mannequins, and more. I have also worked on exhibition layout and prototyping, de-installations and installations, picking up artworks from lenders, and packing and unpacking artworks for transport and loans. 

 

From the registration and collections management side of exhibit work, I have assisted in the processing of hundreds of archeological and ethnographic collections objects on and off exhibit. This included cleaning objects, condition reporting, freezing objects for pest mitigation, updating locations and records, relabelling, remounting and dismantling mounts, and overseeing installations.
